Recordist's notes
This is the second time I put a recorder in this wood. As it's private, nobody is going here. Crows and jackdaws live on an elevated tree. Every evening, quite early, these birds talk about their day. I put a recorder, hidden, on an abandoned trunk. There's less cars than yesterday as everybody is sleeping after the too fat Christmas repast. It was the quite only and last chance to record the birds. Unfortunately, a long painful plane... This is the crows war, every early evening in winter it's like that. There's no other moment as this in daylight times, groups are dislocated in the fields, essentially to find food.
