about

Black-headed and European herring gull calls mingle with urban harbour sounds in Gdynia, Poland.

This recording opportunity was quickly embraced using the only materials to hand: a portable recorder; a pair of binaural microphones (repurposed here as a conventional AB pair); two split and re-sewn halves of a larger fur windshield; a chopstick; a second-hand 3.5mm jack lead extension; and (somewhat incongruously) the supporting base from a miniature model of the Starship Enterprise.

I jumped over concrete sea defences to get the mics in position near the water, then retreated to a nearby wall to listen.

Species: Chroicocephalus ridibundus; Larus argentatus

Recorded June 29, 2015 at 11:00. Gdynia, Poland. Roland CS10-EM repurposed binaural pair to Zoom H4n.
