Echoes in a Secret Gorge

In a dramatic gorge, hidden deep in Turkey's Taurus Mountains, we discover a wondrous symphony of natural sounds.

In the darkness, a Rock Thrush begins the dawn chorus. The piping calls of a Scops Owl echo eerily off the rocks walls, and whistles from rare Snowcocks drift down from icy crags near the snowline. Eventually, the whole gorge reverberates with birdsong, including the calls of a majestic Golden Eagle as it soars above the ridge lines, and the barking of Ibex as they negotiate the precipitous cliffs.

In the late afternoon, Alpine Swifts twitter animatedly during playful aerobatics, their wings whistling as they swoop overhead. As evening falls, an extraordinary symphony of sheep bells echoes in the natural amphitheatre.

This is a hauntingly beautiful recording from a secret landscape.
