Recordist's notes
Recorded whilst cycling in the Spreewald in the last days of August. Leipe is a quiet holiday village surrounded by forest, canals. Older people walk past. The starlings chatter, at one point they go silent but resume again. Then they suddenly leave in a purr of wings. It is windy. Occasionally acorns fall.
