Recordist's notes
Right in the corner of our terrace a pair of wrens have built a nest in the eaves of our porch. We can sit in the kitchen and watch their busy feeding schedule. I strung a pair of Roland binaural mics CS10-EM to an Olympus LS11. Each mic was about 3" either side of the nest and I left the rig there for a couple of hours. This is a short extract. No editing apart from extraction, fade in/out
