Recordist's notes

I got the ferry from Falmouth to St Maws in a stiff westerly wind, but on landing and only after a short walk I came across a lovely sheltered valley with a large Rookery in it. A small stream ran down the valley along side a small playground, and in the oak trees above were the young rooks in their nests. Sony M10 built-in mics.
