Recordist's notes

This recording was made using a Zoom H4N. The recorder was positioned under the A38 so echoing traffic can be heard as well as the traffic above. This is one of the crossing points of Devon Wildland- with this level of noise would wildlife use this underpass to cross?...This recording is part of a series of recordings that will be taken across the landscape, Devon Wildland, to highlight the soundscape that wildlife experience and highlight any potential soundscape barriers that may effect connectivity for wildlife.
