Recordist's notes

Dawn (rooster) chorus on the riverbank. To the right are sounds from this side of the river and to the left you can hear animals (including donkeys) from the other side of the river. Occasionally to the right you can also hear the footsteps and rustling of a stray dog curious about the recording process.
