After finishing a late shift at work I set about trying to record a nighttime atmos so I cycled up to Whitely woods at 6am with a Zoom H2N to try my luck. Though I could hear owls off in the distance there was not a great deal of activity owing to how sparse the trees had become with winter, and I didn't go too deep in as it was pitch black and my vision was limited. With the sensitive mic picking up the tiniest of rustlings it was quite an unnerving experience recording in a dark woods, but I couldn't get too immersed as the silence was broken too regularly by distant early morning commuters. Around 7am as it began to get light there was a greater activity of bird calls.
In future I will plan to find a more isolated wood and go to greater lengths to travel out of urbanised areas.
