Recordist's notes
The Bornholmer II Kleinegartenanlage (allotments) in spring. All recordings are from an audio stream box set up on April 18th (Easter Monday) to 20th at the edge of the gardens beside oval shaped tram track where Linie 50 trams turn round at the end of their route. Springtime birds are in full song and everyday new summer migrants arrived, including the first nightingale on April 20. Birds, insects and animals have no fear of the stream box and sometimes a lot of curiosity. They can come so close that the microphone is unable to cope and overloads – something that never happens when a human recordist is present. This track includes trams, blackbirds, some very close sparrows, a great tit and people in their gardens enjoying the fine spring weather.
