"Housemartins can be heard flying above and around their nesting and feeding grounds in the long grass, just back from the banks of the river Wye, around 2 miles from Hay-on-Wye, Wales. The river can be heard in the background and there are also a few crows present in the middle distance. Very faint traffic sounds can be heard from a distant road and at one point the sound of a car driving quite close."
