Recordist's notes
This is a recording of an individual lamb at the Voe Show in Shetland. There was a row of pens with Shetland sheep in them, and at the end of the row, a pen holding a pair of lambs. One of these young lambs was rather boisterous and had a lot to say for itself! I popped my little EDIROL R-09 down on the grass near the pen, hoping that it would catch less of the wind in this position, and left it for a while so that it could record the noisy lamb making its characterful bleats.
Context
Equipment mentioned: Roland / Edirol R-05 & R-09. Compact Roland/Edirol recorders that were popular for early sound-map contributions.
