Recordist's notes
We came home from a lovely meal in Amsterdam and, as it was a nice warm evening, decided to take a stroll around the neighbourhood. Not far from our place, we heard this amazing sound, so I ran back to get my recorder, and Mark and I stood for a good 20 minutes or so listening to the frogs and all their awesome voices. Recorded with EDIROL R-09 onboard mics, sorry it's a bit hissy.
