Recordist's notes

Two Days on the North Side of Ben Nevis Lochaber Scotland Autumn 2023 While wandering around under Coire na Ciste, I heard an extraordinary sound that I took at first to be a flock of exotic birds. Eventually my ears drew me to the sound of burn whose flow was being extruded through a tight mix of moss and rock.
