Recordist's notes

I am bending the rules because this is a mix made during the first lockdown. In fact a simple collection of authentic sounds that come to the fore when traffic and most human noise etc is missing. Frogs, ducks, pigeons, owls, dogs, water, bees, celebration for the NHS workers that occurred every week, fireworks, an ambulance passes and beeps in appreciation, a high remote jet plane, fools somewhere nearby who partied in spite of lockdown rules and a fox crunching chicken bones are all included. A memorial to Carol, our neighbour and Sean, a brother in law who Covid took from us.
