Recordist's notes
We were having a barbeque when I heard the Rooks start to call as they gathered together for the night. I'd heard them the day before and really wanted to get a recording so I ran as fast as I could and placed my recorder on the ground beneath the trees. Unfortunately I missed the start of their calling. I can't remember the exact time but it was dusk. Recorded on a Zoom H1.
Context
This recording was made away from larger towns, about 78 km from the nearest city in our gazetteer.
Equipment mentioned: Zoom H1 / H1n. An entry-level stereo handheld recorder with fixed X/Y microphones – many people's first field recorder.
