Recordist's notes
I continued my hike from Grotta delle Brocche Rotte to reach better view at the Isola di Foradada. The spot was shielded from the main island with formation of rocks so I was able to avoid recording all the annoying motorbikes racing on the local roads and record the flocks of sea birds sitting on the water around the small island. Since it's a tourist attraction various boats disturbed the birds, going towards the island for pictures and swimming in the bay. nevertheless a beautiful, vast spot to record.
