Recordist's notes
[Zoom H4n Pro] Sundown at the old airstrip in Oostakker/Lochristi. In the First World War, the Germans deposited tonnes of sand on the site to turn it into an airstrip. It was never used because the war ended, and now the sand is being mined. This created a large body of water, home to many birds.
About the place
Lochristi is a town of about 19,696 people in Flanders, Belgium.
Equipment mentioned: Zoom H4n. One of the most widely used field recorders of the 2010s, with X/Y mics and two XLR inputs.
