Bird Sounds in a Beech Forest Valley • Early Spring

Bird sounds recorded in a hidden forest valley in very early spring. A slow stream runs through it, old beech trees on both sides, no wind on the mic, no people. Just the birds — and one woodpecker working somewhere deeper in the trees.

The stream cuts between mossy rock walls and a fallen log, low winter light catching the last dry leaves on the bank. I came in alone this time, scouting new spots. About an hour from where I parked. It was 2°C and I kept thinking I should move, but I didn't. I could sit here for hours. Pure sound from this place, no filters — the way I heard it standing right there.

Static shot, single angle looking into the valley — I didn't move the camera once. This is a father-son project; we record real places on real days.
