From little Rayhat Reef (4 miles from our shore) before sunrise at 03.40 am. with Herring Gulls awakening. The microphones were placed in a Buckthorn where a flock of young Starlings kept night. (4.00>) (The low rumble is from a very distant ship. From 15 hours of recording, the noise is here as lowest)
