Recordist's notes
I went to check out this site as I had been told it had a good Nightjar population. I was greeted by a Marsh Harrier and a lovely male Yellowhammer. The recording also has a Skylark and Linnet in the background. Recorded on my Sony M10 placed directly in a parabolic reflector using the internal mics.
