Recordist's notes

I've been able to spend a wonderful lockdown daily exercise walk at this nature reserve close to my home over the last year (lucky me). Frequent visits have been accompanied by aeroplanes, other visitors, cars arriving and leaving and other Androphony. Last night it was gently raining and the Owls performed in a way that sounded more like an orchestra, got to say, being in that place for a couple of hours each day in silence has helped me big time mentally with the C19 effect of lockdown. Pluggies into a Tascam with handmade hard foam add-ons.
