Recordist's notes
We were walking towards The Royal Oak Pub in Fritham through a long stretch of wood in which we kept hearing this marvelous cuckoo. I just had the EDIROL R-09 with me, but was able to capture something of the bird's lovely song as it rang out between the trees. We stood very still to record the sound and at some point the cuckoo even moved into the tree that was closest to us. Beautiful sound.
