Recordist's notes
Recorded by Benjamin Burns on a Zoom H1. I can't remember what time it was exactly, early in the morning but after dawn. I walked down the drive and heard a bird singing that I'd never heard before. I snuck under the Horsechestnut trees and placed the microphone as near as I could to the bird (a Sedge Warbler). There's a nice mix of other singers and some reverberated mooos.
