Recordist's notes

A lot of crows are gathered together in this recording. Why? It's possible they are mobbing a very unwelcome predator, perhaps a hawk or an owl. Goshawks are heard calling in the previous recordings, so are definitely present. More distant chaffinches and tits sing regardless. A great spotted woodpecker drums. Berlin city roar is always in the background and SBahn trains rush past on the nearby railtracks.
