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.
