I came here from the "What did volicaraptors actaully sound like" your mind is my ware house, video

[@Ilaunchnukes]

I came from what carnotaurus sounded like.

[@user-nl3xw4gg7m]

Alligators and cassowaries were also used. A cassowary’s calls sound like grunting and alligators let out a loud, gurgling “burp” sound.

[@storm-3337]

Ngl that looks pretty badass

[@unknowncreature-0069]

He sounds like a broken trombone but sure. Great performance.

[@oscartravis5740]

It seems to inflate in the manner of a bagpipe, taking on air to fill the sound cavity before letting out the call. Incredible creature, thank you

[@lindsay833]

0:26 is literally the organic version of the Silent Hill 2 item pickup sound

[@CheekyChan]

Exactly what I was thinking. The inventory noise from SH2 and 3.

[@lindsay833]

@@CheekyChan I'm so glad I wasn't the only one to think so. I can't "un-hear" that sound and now whenever I pick up batteries or a flashlight I hear it in my head haha. Sometimes I even do a little "doo-doo" outloud to make myself feel better.

[@CheekyChan]

@@lindsay833 Same here. Sometimes I think of the item collection sound from the OG Resident Evil games too. I think the worst is when I'm super tired and I'm walking out to my car when it's pitch black outside and my mind will randomly think of a noise like the pendulum grinding from SH3 and I speed walk to my car just a little faster.

[@spencergage95]

To me it sounds a little lower-pitched than that sound effect but it's very similar.

[@Tibb91]

We have a swamp at the back of our garden, I hear this strange sound literally every 10 minutes in summer :D

[@nathangamble125]

So, dinosaurs sound like the THX intro?

That sound it makes is like something from the dinosaur age!

Because all birds are dinosaurs.

The call of this bird would best be described as similar to some one blowing over the top of a bottle

[@laius6047]

Exactly. When I was a kid used to think exactly that. every summer hearing this mating call from nearby lake 2km away.

[@sandragill2562]

[@lgmontgomery8125]

This just makes me smile. Thank you for sharing this.

[@pilotmike7569]

A tame bittern that allows you to look at him?!😳 Now, this is SOMETHING!😃

[@NightHeronProduction]

Great footage of very rare behaviour, your lucky to able film one in the open and on your own, when I filmed this same behaviour 4 years ago now the spot I was in was just full of very noisy people. Great stuff :)

[@cunnieseverywhere]

ITS A GREAT BITTERN USING ITS AVERAGE CALL YOU BUFFOON

[@NightHeronProduction]

@@cunnieseverywhere Its a Bittern (Great or Eurasian, you pick which descriptor name you prefer) using its "AVERAGE" call which it usually makes from the cover of dense reedbeds. The secretive disposition of this species of bird coupled with its relatively low population numbers has made observation of this behaviour rather rare and difficult to observe let alone capture on film until recently, as a consequence this footage is an excellent example of seldomly seen behaviour that characterises this species. Now if you find anything in this comment to complain about, please feel free to leave another reply, YOU MEAN SPIRITED PRATT!!

[@cunnieseverywhere]

@@NightHeronProduction you are looking for "rare creature" not "rare behaviour"

[@alexanderbyfield6077]

Heard one at RSPB Ouse Fen in June this year, when it was cloudy. The bird was somewhere in the middle of the reedbed section of the reserve (it is very large compared to most reserves I have been to), and I could hear it all over the reedbed section. They are known as Britain's loudest bird for a reason. Also saw one the day before yesterday, got some photos too. :D

[@dtiydr]

Dam that is a strange sound, talk about resonance.

[@kolonarulez5222]

This bird is amazing not only do they sound like water but I'd wonder what a tuba player was doing out in the swamp if i heard this. And so cute!

[@rommix0]

This is what happens when the DJ forgets to bring his setup.

[@damagedengine2090]

Excellent video, one of the best on KZbin! So interesting to see up close how the bird sings.

[@arcosprey4811]

Thinking of a T rex making these sounds is nerve racking

[@feuerling]

A T-rex would have been much deeper, to communicate with its kind over greater distances, much like elephants do today. You would have felt it more than hearing it.

[@mine158]

Now I know who wrote this notification sound on my phone.

[@annainspain5176]

At last a recording in which you actually hear the bittern! A rare thing indeed on KZbin.

This deserves far more views... I mean, how/why was it out in the open like that? Unbelievable.

[@jonaskatona7136]

An absolutely gorgeous bird.

[@Nerine98]

I have them in my area and listen to them every night. I love the booming sound, it's so eerie and soothing at the same time. Always wondered what kind of bird does that. Now I showed this video to everyone who live with me and for some neighbors so they know what it is. Despite living for so long here, nobody (my parents, grandparents, etc.) never paid too much attention to them nor saw the bird as it is a camouflage master. Edit: top right corner of Poland is where I listen to them

[@schizo_1]

it feels like it’s vibrating me

[@inkakoutna7155]

This bird is so fascinating, never heard anything like this before

[@lucamednyanszky749]

This is called booming. Certain birds like grouses, ostriches and bitterns do that. They stretch their neck and inflate that, or use a specialized neck pouch for that.

[@oscartravis5740]

Incredible sound

[@L_back]

I lived in a Polish village for a few years. You could hear one of these things do it’s call from kilometers away! They usually lived near a lake. When we went to our local lake, we usually heard it. It’s beautiful nature…

Came here after hearing about the distinctive sound this bird makes. I read about it in The Hound of the Baskervilles novel.

[@STLnintendofan]

Same! That is how I got here too.

[@elizabethvargas5713]

I ran across this because, in Patrick O'Brian's The Nutmeg of Consolation, one of the characters mentions a bird known as 'the bull of the bog' and, naturally, the Great Bittern is what that turned out to be!

[@thesatsumonster]

what a talkative lemon :))!

[@mojosuzo9617]

It's 4am and I'm listening to a bittern in the valley below - much louder than this and eerily beautiful. 💞

[@TheMiner16]

Wait I thought they didn't make any noises this time of year... Ive been to a few lakes with these things and even saw one a few days ago but no sound anywhere

[@mojosuzo9617]

@Random User I live in New Zealand so likely a different season.

[@TheMiner16]

@@mojosuzo9617 Right if its new zealand then its a different species, That would be the australasian or brown bittern as far as im aware, if you saw it consider yourself lucky cuz its an endangered species. There used to be another species of bittern in new zealand but it died out in the late eighten hundreds as its habitat was destroyed

[@JohnH-mo5mb]

So beautiful. Another one of millions of reasons why wildlife habitat needs to be preserved in large swaths!

[@laius6047]

When i was a child i used to h arthis every summer. Since the boice was cining from the wide of the lake which was 2km away from my home i always thought the sound came from wind blowing into bottle lol. Only in my 20s i somehow tound out its a bird. In reality it sounds differnet, like i said you could heat it from at least 2km away. Amazing sound.
