    Reminds me of home (kenya) in the country side. I didn’t realize how beautiful it is to listen to birds chirp up until I ran across this video. I was young back then. Now I yearn to go back and enjoy it.

      I hope you get to go back to Kenya, the sounds of the savanna there are just gorgeous. I have a few recordings from there on my channel including this one: ua-cam.com/video/Lv7_3UQNo4s/v-deo.html

    This recording remains one of my goto’s for relaxing. Love the amount of bird present. Together they make a sort of white noise of bird sounds. I love the doves in particular. Not just because they sound lovely, but also because they provide a nice contrast in sound, compared to the other birds.

    • @GeorgeVlad
      @GeorgeVlad  2 роки тому

      Totally agree on dove calls, they're generally lower frequency than other bird sounds and incredibly varied.

      @konagirl0183 3 роки тому +1

      I suspect it's actually taken from the SA side, from the confluence lookout at Mapungubwe National Park (the confluence of the Shashe and Limpopo rivers). The view is looking towards Zimbabwe, with Botswana out of shot to the left (www.google.co.uk/maps/@-22.2005822,29.3706265,3a,75y,25.72h,86.61t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sJCrN6yEDODY0oTcwIrJ5AQ!2e0!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3DJCrN6yEDODY0oTcwIrJ5AQ%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile.gps%26w%3D203%26h%3D100%26yaw%3D250.56662%26pitch%3D0%26thumbfov%3D100!7i13312!8i6656).
