Recordist's notes
This is the sound of Brian Knowles's Rams when we went to feed them. You can hear Brian shaking the food for them, as sheep are generally pretty quiet in the winter time, but soon get noisy if they sense the possibility of food to hand! I am not completely certain that I have located this file correctly, but it's the best I can do with the maps and the memories I have of travelling around the Lake District last January. Brian and Jane Knowles live at High Borrow Farm in Selside, but their land from memory seemed to stretch in several directions, and a lot of it was right there on the main road.
