Recordist's notes

We stopped by to see the high crosses at Monasterboice. The crow babies were calling for food all around. I sat down inside the ruins of an old church to record them. Later, when I told my friend about it, she said I'd been sitting just next to her dad's grave. This is the 128th Broadcast of The Sunken Hum, my sound diary for 2013.
