Recordist's notes
Starlings gathering when the night comes in a few trees that are in the middle of the big road. It's quite an hostile environment for them but they will stay as lo,g as the trees are there I guess. Des étourneaux se rassemblent à la nuit tombée dans quelques arbres au milieu du boulevard. Un environnement hostile mais où ils se tiennent, aussi longtemps que les arbres seront là. Tech Note : DPA 4060 binaural bag, listen with headphones -> Deity PR-2.
