Zagorian nocturne

This is the classic warm evening soundscape high up in the mountains. Crickets, edible dormice, mountain dogs combine stridulations and vocalisations to form a rich and evocative ear massage. On this recording a wild boar briefly visits my microphones right by our garden fence. 
 
In the past you might have heard distant goat or sheep bells ringing as the flocks graze in the upland summer pastures. Only one flock is left so this musical and occupational voice fast disappearing.
