Recordist's notes

I was in Abingdon early and decided to head to Saxton Rovers to make a recording. It was a Sunday and so there was less traffic noise from the distant A34; the inner ring road and the surrounding streets. One of the most distinctive sounds that I hear was that of Wood Pigeon's wings flapping sporadically as they executed their undulating flight paths. This was recorded using an Edirol R-09HR.
