Recordist's notes
Trying out a new Primo EM172 boundary mic, hand held, in a local wood at 6pm on a Friday evening. A busy road, 1 Km away on the right (due South), is taking holiday makers to the coast for the weekend. The ever present aircraft are heading to and fro the three main london airports. No wonder the Muntjac deer is sounding a bit cheesed off. Pip power from an LS-10. Shortly after making the recording I was chased home by a heavy rain shower.
