Hi John
Thanks for your comment.
One of my reasons for posting, and airing, the recording was to obtain views on
the acceptablity/need to record sounds of wildlife in their real life
situations. Maybe if we don't bother to do this we will eventually regret
lost opportunities.
Of course, its also very much easier to find these situations/places rather
than pristine wilderness - particularly in my neck of the woods.
I very much admire the results obtained by those with the skill and persistance
to record in more challenging, but rarer, habitats; something I aspire to.
I suppose a question is does the recording tell us anything about the ability
of the bird to fit in with its suroundings? No doubt the woodpecker in the
recording consders his surroundings very natural.
Possibly it has alrady been covered in previous posts, but what does classify
as a nature sound recording?
Cheers
