Recordist's notes
Strolling towards the park with my buddy Louise, I heard the loveliest Blackbird song drifting down from the roof of the building beside the park. There were some nice noticeboards around, explaining the history of the site which we stood and read, while listening to the lovely birdsong. Recorded by leaving the EDIROL R-09 on top of a stone pillar at the entrance to the park.
