Hi all,
I would be very grateful if you would consider my query for the
following sound:
http://f2.grp.yahoofs.com/v1/oG7qQgHW-
4mgCcBUykfIWmlgy7pSX5Rje2EFmEYI9_G9jln8CiYxUiESYXmrl96D1fXXeLLFV0wY9P
r_fihw54tYxP3jDt71zDvr-fI/Mystery%20Mammal%20calls.mp3
(or in the files of naturerecordists).
(recorded in a Forest, Northern France, 10:30 PM, 5/29/2005 ; with
Telinga PRO5 and MD)
The mysterious animal was in a large bramble bush and I was not able
to see it with my torch. I've just quickly seen something like a
small rodent moving on the branches, probably a Common dormouse
(Muscardinus avellanarius). But I'm not sure that it was what I was
recording.
After checking my all Fields guides of animal's sounds and
questioning a lot of my French colleagues I can't be sure of the
identity of this animal.
I find these calls relatively similar to those of Garden dormouse
(Eliomys quercinus) and Fat dormouse (Myoxus glis) especially rut
calls of these species. But I have no equivalent sounds of Common to
compare.
I will not be able to read my mail from tomorrow afternoon until 8th
August.
Apologies for my English=85
Julian P.
