Name: Hogsmill Walk, Dump Lorries, Moorhen, Dunnocks, Jackdaws, Crow, Water And Plane.WAV by Benton Bat
Duration: 1 min 56 s
Description: This is the Hogsmill river near the waste transfer station at Villiers road. There is a lot going on: -wind through poplar leaves, water running, dump lorries reversing but the birds get on with their lives.

This is a walk around my local estate conceived for 'Soundwalk Sunday' 2019 https://www.museumofwalking.org.uk/events/walk-with-jane-on-the-cambridge-estate/  now known as 'Soundwalk September'. It describes the estate through it's sound including:- interviews with its community, natural assets (trees, plants, bats and birds)and service providers (sexual health clinic, food bank etc.) through to its/their destruction for a council regeneration project. http://alisonfure.blogspot.com/2020/12/cambridge-road-estate-planning.html

Time Expansion bat detectors detect & record all frequencies, capturing quiet species & entire structures of calls. They preserve details of social calls & harmonics.
They record snippets of sound that can be replayed at a slower audible rate although while it is doing so it cannot record.

This is the same song recorded on semi-pro equipment for a project I am undertaking at Goldsmiths, Part of the University of London. I wanted to see if it sounded better than my iPhone.
