Recordist's notes
A recording along the beach at St Leonards-On-Sea during sunset. The soundscape is dominated by a flock of seagulls gathering in close proximity, capturing their sharp, competing cries, aggressive squawking, and flapping wings as they scavenge for food. The background features the consistent, gentle wash of the evening tide against the shingle. Recorded with a Tascam DR-05X. 22°C, 6.6 km/h.
