Recordist's notes

Grantchester Meadows on a June evening. Zoom F1 and Zoom XYH-6 Stereo capsule attached to a tree in the meadows along the river footpath. Light wind gently rustling the leaves of the trees, birdsong and passers-by. Quieter than usual (even with the lockdown) given a colder turn in the weather.

Written by Dawson on radio aporee ::: maps.
