Recordist's notes

kittiwakes at the grand hotel ... SASS ... bird calls ... herring gull ... background noise ... voices ... footfall ... traffic ... boats leaving the harbour ... air conditioning units ... almost a month since the last visit ... the ledges etc are very cramped now ... the young are almost as big as the adults ... many are enthusiastic wing flappers exercising their wings ...
