Into the Okavango

Field Recording: Catfish Splashing At Dawn In A Palm Breeze


Listen Later

August 26 2015, 5:40 AM. Chief's Island, Okavango Delta.
One of the many times where I was recording something from inside my tent with no idea what I was hearing. There was much activity in the channel next to me throughout the night, some of it probably not so benign. But the team agreed this is jumping catfish. The breeze through the palms is a definite soundmark of these islands.
