Thanks for listening and the reply.
No, I didn't see him because it was dark. I didn't record the first barks w=
hen the roe deer was just a few meters away. He scared me because I didn't =
see or hear him coming as I was trying to get close to the grasshopper warb=
ler and was setting up the equipment for recording. After the first shock I=
grabbed the telinga and started to record.
He was running away on a field while barking.
Yes, I can hear the feets in the dirt on the field, but It felt like the "c=
licks" didn't belong there. I thought it was a problem with the recording f=
irst until I heard the the same sound every time he jumps & barks. My next =
thought was that it might be his teeth that "clicks" together, but it might=
be just like you say that it is his feet in the ground but I'm not sure.
This was also a long reply.. :)
Thanks again.
