Media notes

Same flock of 12 or so gulls standing in shallow water as ML64760122, calling intermittently. Pied stilt prominent in the background, black swan also heard. I suspect the rhythmic tapping heard at times is a loose strap on my bag, blowing in the wind (just like I knew it would!). Pied stilt prominent in the background, black swan also heard. 200Hz hpf used to reduce wind noise

Additional species

  • Pied Stilt Himantopus leucocephalus
  • Black Swan Cygnus atratus
