A warm evening in a swamp forest along the Peene river in northeastern Germany. Song Thrush, Common Blackbird, Willow Warbler and Chiffchaff are continuously singing and provide an unstressed atmosphere. The unusual sound of a Common Snipe can be heard a couple of times. This vibrating sound comes from spread tail-feathers during deep dives while flying. Noise from a nearby road and overflying airplanes are hints for the Anthropocene.
