Recordist's notes

On this visit to Fortescue i left a Roland R-26 recording in the long grass next to a fence post in second marsh. There was a tractor across the river and a small herd of cattle. Planes fly over at regular intervals and their sound mingles with the white noise of the River Exe and the throbbing bass of the tractor.
