In September-October of 2014 I had gone to North India and among other places visited Keoladeo National Park. Here I got lucky with the mating calls of a pair of Sarus Cranes - the star attraction of the park. The first time when I heard this call I got a start, because I couldn't see the birds and was certainly not prepared for the sound. After that I took out my recorder and waited ready for it. After about six minutes they suddenly called out. It was really worth the wait. The time shown in Xeno-Canto is wrong. It was recorded in the late afternoon at around 4.30 pm on 2nd October, 2014.
The recording turned out to be very clean, clear and crisp. I didn't do any editing whatsoever. Not even volume push up. This is the first time I used the new Marantz PMD 661 Mk II with the Sennheiser K6/ME66. It's a fantastic combination.
