Roe Deer Barks - Foret de Senonches, Le Perche, France by World-Sounds.org published on 2017-04-12T11:21:23Z Wildlife Sound Recording Society (WSRS) 2018 Competition - Individual Reserved Winner I'd headed into Senonches forest to record the dawn chorus. I found a nice spot that was fairly open so set my mics up, then ran some long cables off to the side so I could sit down. I'd been recording for around 20 minutes when a Roe Deer came walking by, probably on it's way to drink from the nearby pond. It was only about 15 metres from where I was sitting and when it saw me, it ran off, then started barking loudly. Roe Deer bark (often repeatedly) when alarmed, so I had clearly surprised it.

I will get lucky one of these days... 2020-05-24T22:19:10Z Comment by Terry B Sounds Nice echoes. 2020-04-15T14:38:22Z Comment by Lang Elliott – Music of Nature lovely bird chorus, plus I like the deer barks being off to one side and in the distance. 2017-09-28T12:26:22Z Comment by Field Recordings that reverb is really interesting! 2017-04-18T09:04:08Z Comment by Malcolm Shaw Love the reverb, very atmospheric! 2017-04-12T16:30:19Z
