Recordist's notes
In the center of Saint-Martin-De-Ré, near the church. From 0:00 mn to 2:30 mn, strictly nothing is happening and it's so peaceful (and also important to record it, even if there's nothing). 2:30 mn : bells are ringing nine. After this, birds are excited. You can hear : Jackdaws, Common Wood Pigeons, European Turtle Doves, Common Swifts. 5:20 mn : bells are ringing again. Beautiful and so so quiet.
