Recordist's notes
It was a very sunny and warm day when I recorded this, and I actually got sunburn from sitting out for too long. This section of coast is very sheltered, and there isn't much of a beach so the waves, such as they are, just lap against the shore. It's very peaceful, and traffic using the road in this area is minimal. The area is surrounded by farm land, and towards the end of the track you can hear a sort of breathing and rustling sound from the left side. This is a cow that had wandered over to say hello, and started eating the grass nearby. Recorded 24 August 2021, using the Sony PCM D100 and Audio Technica AT8022 stereo microphone.
