Recordist's notes
A patch of overgrown land between the road and railway is closed off by railings, which are rather musical if hit with ones hand. While playing I noticed a small oak tree seedling had succeeded in competing with the rampant Japanese knottweed (very invasive around here). There were also old tyres and a discarded fish can half full of water amongst the other rubbish.
