First attempt at recording wildlife audio.
Whilst I appreciate some may find the wind a distraction, I was keen to capture an essence of it, as it was pretty strong today.

Hell Bay on Bryher is a place in the Isles of Scilly that gets battered by storms that travel freely across the Atlantic Ocean. Due to it's location there is nothing in the path of these storms, all the way across to the eastern seabord of the US.

I was here on a calm August day, and you can get an idea as to how rough this place could be based on this recording being a calm day. The power of the sea there is awe-inspiring.

I was in Cologne for work last week, near the hotel and the HBF were some large iron arches under the trainlines. The trains were making a really deep bassy rumble when they passed over. I thought it was very cool, so recorded one.
