Recordist's notes

This is the third of four recordings made during the North Berks League Division Two match between Sutton Courtenay and Westminster. As we left the park I stood by the entrance to the car park and spent some time listening to the match as its presence came and went in the evening soundscape. This recording was made with an Edirol R-09HR.
