Yes, I also heard the Chaffinch (Bogfinke) in Danish :D

[hunterdp]

Thanks. I think you are right (at about 4:40?). I hope to eventually make another video where the Chaffinch plays a larger role.

[eric5335]

it says, in the description, that its west of copenhagen (the capital). So its probably somewhere in the middle of Zealand :D

[hunterdp]

yes, thanks for answering. Some of the video was recorded just west of copenhagen and some near the town of Frederiksund and Roskilde Fjord (the poppy fields).

Don't forget to shoot all the magpies you can. They take a lot of song bird nestlings and eggs.

Nice film. Woodland and birdsong both good for us.
