Birdsong in Pocket Park

Stroud, UK lockdown sound recorded by Ann-Margreth Bohl. 

"My home is on the outside of a small town in the West of England. This recording was taken one morning a few days ago when I walked early to one bakery that is still open. Normally at this time it is quite busy on the nearby main road but not at the moment. 

"I luckily had my field recorder with me to take hold of the birdsong that morning.

"Stroud is a friendly small town, which has an independent and creative spirit. Many of us make sure our the vulnerable neighbours have what they need during these weeks of lockdown. I am developing a project on field recordings during these challenging times and would like to hear from you if you are interested to take part."
