Recordist's notes
Crows and other birds speak to each other in the reverberant place. Their voices woke me up. It is cloudy. One of the crows fly by near my recording spot. There is a noise of the huge twenty lane highway (Leningradsky Prospekt) on the background. Trees have no leafs yet, so you can clearly hear the traffic that circa 700 meters away from the recording spot. Recorded on Zoom H5 built-in X/Y stereo microphone by hand.
