Taken on 17th June 2012 on the clifftop from the coast path near Buckator, between Crackington Haven and Boscastle, Cornwall, UK. Several stonechats were flitting around in a patch of gorse and uttering their unmistakable little 'chat!' sounds like hitting two pebbles together.
The background sea noise is muted because this is rather back from the cliff edge. This recording was actually rather spoiled by the quite modest breeze, despite my use of a Rycote Mini Windjammer on my Sony PCM-M10 (using internal mics). I therefore took the liberty (which I want to avoid generally) of using some EQ in WavePad to tame the wind sound and bring the birds a bit more to the fore.
Please note that the volume level of this recording has been carefully adjusted for listening purposes, and ALL my recordings so far are meant to be listened to with a volume setting that would give a realistic level for playback of CLASSICAL music (a large but not exceptional symphony orchestra). If you have the right volume setting, you should not need to change that setting from one recording of mine to another.
Please remember to give this recording a rating!
This recording can be used free of charge, provided that it's not part of a materially profit-making project, and it is properly and clearly attributed. The attribution must give my name (Philip Goddard) and link to https://freesound.org/people/Philip_Goddard/sounds/158754/
