Recordist's notes

Have been missing aporee and when I went to Shetland earlier this summer, I took my fairly new to me R07 and we had some adventures together, making sounds to once again share on this beautiful map with this beautiful community. For this recording I left the R07 wedged between some rocks listening to the water while I did the same, walking up and down the white sand studying the shells. The water was extremely cold but we had a lovely swim in it, after a hot and gorgeous walk around The Hams of Muckle Roe.
