Recordist's notes
From the edge of the bridge the traffic, trains and planes completely dominate the soundscape. However you are standing the same height as the tree tops. Birds singing or calling can be quite close and clear to hear. On this track is a chiffchaff and more distant goldfinches and great tits. The thumping sounds is wind ruffling the microphones.
