Recordist's notes
A green still pond in evening urban woodland. Local traffic passes. Frogs croak and two robins sing. The water outlet pipe is heard in the distance. Throughout hundreds of tiny baby frogs (1cm long), just hatched, hop silently, purposefully, in the grass all heading uphill, while large bats swoop overhead. Magical!- kind of.
