This sound was recorded via the use of a Behringer B2 microphone, FOSTEX FR2 and a home made parabolic reflector made from a TV satellite dish. The source of the sound was between 100m-200m away from the microphone. This has been EQ'ed with high-end shelving to reduce gain noise, Low-end shelved up to 1KHz (to reduce wind and background noise) and the overall gain has been increased. The bird sound on the recording, is a bird called a "Nightjar" which is a nocturnal bird. If you are interested in the build of the reflector itself, I have documented it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jySSECW1QF0 . This sound is also available to listen to on my soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/jonmacmusicproduction

If you use my sound in any productions could you please put a link to my free sound, sound cloud or youtube channel so it can reach others!

Thanks for listening and downloading

Perfect for atmosphere in a uni piece based around Siegfried Sassoon's Haunted. My tutor will see the link at least.
