Recordist's notes

One big advantage of streaming is that it becomes possible to listen to the same location for longer periods, usually more than 24 hrs. Comparisons can be made from one day, or time of day, to the next. Here, the same time on the previous day (tracks 4 & 5) sounds rather similar in terms of species diversity and activity. It gives some idea of the consistency at any one location. Of course, not everything remains the same - the city roar seems more obvious now despite it being a Sunday. Changes in the weather and acoustic conditions must have occurred.
