Recordist's notes
A group of children recording the sounds of birds in the trees on a warm, autumn morning at school. You can hear Crows & Noisy Miners and children in the playground in the distance. Part of an Easter holiday sound workshop run by Gabrielle Fry, teaching children how to use equipment to appreciate and record sounds in familiar surroundings. Recorded using a Rode NTG-2 and Zoom H4N. This workshop was inspired by the seasonal sound walks project, run by DIVAcontemporary in Dorset, UK.
