Recordist's notes
Recording made form my window during the lockdown. Two magpies are busy building a nest on tree just in front of my house. During the pandemic seems that birds sing even louder. The suspension of human activities cause sonic peculiarities in urban soundscape; the relationship between bio-phony and anthropo-phony seems more balanced.
