Recordist's notes
This is the sound of Brian Knowles's one year old ewes. The field is wet and very close to a main road; you can hear the traffic travelling by very close and at high speed. Brian also explains what a hogg hole is, i.e. a special hole created in a wall which sheep can use to move between fields.
