Cet enregistrement a été réalisé en milieu naturel , sur une place de rendez-vous que nous avions repéré lors d'enquêtes naturalistes avec le PNR du Verdon. Pendant plusieurs soirs la meute chantait plus ou moins aux mêmes horaires. Le 30 septembre 2023 nous avons tenté notre chance sans vraiment y croire. A notre grande surprise, le chant à débuté alors que nous n'étions pas encore prêt pour l'enregistrement. Nous avons manqué environ une minute de chant.

Les enregistrements ont été réalisé avec un système parabolique "fait maison", composé d'un plat wildtronic , couplé avec 4 capsules aom 5024 et un Tascam dr05x

Quelques modifications mineures ont été apportées sur cet enregistrement:

-suppression ou nettoyage de bruits de manipulations. - amplification de 3db des premières secondes pour équilibrer le gain de la bande son.
