new years eve inside a nesting box

["alulatonserien" alulatonserien]

Hello,

in most countries, people welcome the new year with fireworks.
In different cultures it has different traditional backgrounds,
who even found their way into the phonography community
as recordings.
Like many other people, I wonder what this tradition has for
implications for the birds, living in our backyards, parks or
buildings. In my backyard I had installed a few nestboxes
for smaller songbirds. In winter, some of them are trying to
beware of coldness inside those. The following recording is made
inside in one of these nestboxes with DPA 4061 mics at
31th december 2010, 23:52:30h.
