Background Sounds

Recorded in the middle of the night and the great thing is: no man-made sounds.

What you hear is the river Tay in the distance and some Oystercatchers and apart from that: nothing! How brilliant in these days.

People go on about light pollution, which is terrible! But silence is soo hard to find these days. Maybe in Scotland.

beautiful recording, thank you for sharing! I used it in my podcast at maerchenfrosch.de to illustrate the Scottish tale of Mally Whuppie and the Giant. Reference is in the credits. Best wishes!

So true and once you notice, it becomes even more obvious!
