Recordist's notes

Initially, I thought it might be some bird, but after some research - there are probably no birds that could read above 60kHz, so this must have been a bat. In this original recording one can hear only little clicks, but in the following recordings I made versions that are half and quarter the speed. AB stereo recording (60cm) made with Sennheiser MKH 8020 on Sound Devices MixPre-6 II. Author's website: https://piotrekzyla.com
