Recordist's notes

Some ducks and coots swimming and making some interesting sounds. At 2:25, a small bird came to visit them by flying very close to the water. In the background you can hear the cars driving over the carbridge at the Binckhorstlaan. Recorded using a Senheiser ME66, Edirol R-44 and Rycote suspension & windshield kit. http://binckhorst.wordpress.com/
