Recordist's notes
A small flock of birds going crazy over a feeder made from a large plastic bottle and strung on a branch. Nearby main road can be heard behind. Had to employ a surgical EQ to take our RFI noise as I was ~50m away from a cell tower and guess who forgot to turn on airplane mode on their phone... Equipment: stereo pair of Clippy EM272 mics into Tascam Portacapture X6.
