This recording was made on a small footbridge on Vogelinsel (engl. bird island) at the Altmühlsee (a lake) in Germany, which is a nature reserve. The microphone was mounted on a stand. On both sides of the bridge is water. All around are other small islands. At the time of recording, there were no other people on the islands. It was a relatively cold day, constant wind can be heard. Throughout the recording, there are a large number of different bird calls audible (esp. ducks, herons, geese,...), sometimes also flapping of wings. Those sounds mix with churchbells from the surrounding villages and distant traffic noise.
