Recordist's notes

This is the sound of six cygnets, recently born to a pair of swans whose nest is up in the top lake. Their tiny sounds and beautiful little fluffy bodies hold huge appeal for everyone who is excited about the arrival of spring. Many people were taking photos of the swans and stopping to admire the little family. Recorded with a pair of Naiant X-X microphones.
