Reservoir Ambience - Ducks, Geese, Birds & Water
by Ryan Garner
I've been wanting to capture this one for a while now. This is a reservoir not too far from me in a place called Elsecar. I have fond memories of walking around this reservoir when I was younger. It was nice to revisit, sit, and listen to the sounds. It's tricky to get this sort of audio without people in because the area is very popular with everyone. To get these sounds, I had to get up and venture out early on a crisp winter morning and sit in the cold amongst the ducks before other people had the same idea. I particularly enjoy the water sounds in this. It sounds like there is a soft stream flowing throughout the recording, however, this is the many, many ducks and geese bathing themselves and drinking from the reservoir. I've tried to remove the very spontaneous loud noises they were making occasionally too. They kept making me jump when I was editing and I tried to spare you the same. I hope you enjoy listening to this as much as I enjoyed capturing it.
