Harbour Recordings, Brancaster Staithe

This recording was made in Brancaster Staithe, Norfolk, UK. It is a small town nearby to Kings Lynn, the conditions were very windy, but there were wading birds and geese etc in the area. In this recording you can hear a seagull picking up and dropping a mussel from height, to try and crack open its shell. Recorded on Mixpre6/USI Pro in a rycote windshield. Apologies for the small amount of wind-noise in the recording, I had full windshield and dead cat covering on the microphones. There is also the distance sound of ship masts rattling in the wind.
