Nature and wildlife sounds - Dusk in the African bush

As night falls in the African savanna, the sounds change dramatically. From the lush ambience of the afternoon and dusk chorus, the soundscape becomes eerie and mysterious. The constant insect chorus is ever present, with very few other elements.
In the stunted mopane woodland, a single African scops owl calls. It repeats the warbly whistle for 10, even 20 minutes at a time. The resonance of the wooded valley creates beautiful acoustics that provide a sense of space. Soon enough the first owl is joined by others in the distance, creating a weird polyrhythm that adds structure to the cricket song. They only stop when soft rain falls in the woodland, and then resume later in different places.
Recorded with Zoom F6 and Lom mikroUsi Pro in South Luangwa National Park, Zambia. Enjoying the videos I upload on here? Feel free to support me by:

I have always liked the ambient sound of ecosystems. I am a fan of your work. Someday I wish I could have the opportunity to do the same. I send you a cordial greeting friend from Mexico.
