Recordist's notes
The place where we stayed for Wool Week had a couple of trees in the back garden, in which large quantities of birds roosted each night. We kept the window open to hear the lovely sounds while cooking each evening. There were also some building works in the area that we could hear through the open window and - very faintly - the reassuring chimes of the clock of Lerwick Town Hall.
