Birds, Wind and Chores, recorded from the casement window

This is a recording made from the casement windows of an old Victorian cottage in which I was staying in order to record the sounds of the domestic interior of a period property. It was quite cold and dark and I was ill when I was there. But when I was organising my things for the final night of my stay, I noticed the amazing bird sounds from the window of the bedroom on the very top floor. It was an incredible sound - the starlings passing, the wind howling, even the blurry and annoying sounds of the traffic and planes on nearby roads... I wanted to record it. There is a lot of wind in the recording and I could have had the levels a little higher to get a better noise/signal ratio, but the starlings passing over at around 5-6 minutes in are amazing. You can hear me going out to the coal bunker as well, and filling the enamel water jug. Recorded with FOSTEX FR-2LE using Naiant X-X omni-directionals.
