Recordist's notes

Dusk - shows the species range of this place. Song thrushes, blackbirds, robins all sing. Pheasants call. Peacocks from India (a legacy of British colonialism) have gone wild on the nearby estate. Their cries echo through the woods. Shots disturb the distant crows. Bitterns boom from the marsh.
