Recordist's notes
Chorus insects, active birds, amphibians, human activity and an aircraft engine. The soundscape is quite cluttered but stereo images can be heard. A specie can be heard whistling through the right and left channels. Recording by Abigail Baffoe who is WISEA (Women in Soundscape Ecology Africa) leader. This is part of her recordings in a Forest Reserve in Ghana. Hitherto, she has been working in degraded suburban wetlands for an installation project on wetlands loss and its effect on biodiversity and man. She was mentored by Emmanuel K.
