Pittencrieff Park - Dunfermline.
General park ambience with people and birds.
Tower Burn flowing in the distance, and includes the 11:30 chimes from Dunfermline Abbey.

This is my attempt at a recording the ambience of Pittencrief Park (aka The Glen) with my Audio Technica AT8022.
Being a mild day, the park was filled with people and birdsong, all sharing an early anticipation of spring.
My rig was set up on a small hump bridge, overlooking the larger Tower Bridge below. The sound of Tower Burn can be heard in the distance, along with the 11:30 chimes from the Abbey.
Lots of birdsong, and a flutter of wings. Mostly crows. But a small robin is soon heard chirping from a tree branch overhead.

Thanks Kevin.
Yeah, the chimes from the abbey can be heard from quite far. Adds to the beautiful ambience in the park every 15 minutes.
Glad you liked it.
Much appreciated.
