On the Edge of the Land

Artist:

Peter Brooks

Isle of Skye, Scotland

Notes:

The rising tide, gently lapping at rocks, with the quieter general sound of the sea in the background.

The recording contains many bird sounds – both land-based such as Blackbirds (Turdus merula) and sea-based such as Oystercatchers (Haematopus ostralegus). A completely untreated recording made at the edge of the beach, with the equipment mounted on a tripod standing on rocks as the sea level rose around them with the incoming tide.

Recorded at dusk as the birds chorus before nightfall at Tarskavaig, Isle of Skye, UK.
