Recordist's notes

From an overnight recording starting at 23.05. Voices, several aircraft, wild animals sniffing, scratching and calling, maybe a fox, owls, mice, muntjac. A sudden squall arrives and departs. Near the end mice crawl over the microphones left and right in turn. The very low frequencies are probably enhanced by the wooden deck. MixPre 6 II with 2 Sennheiser MKH 8020s in a home made windscreen on a chair covered with plastic felt for protection.
