Recorded on the easterly beach of Loch an Eisg Brachaidh. A dull day with rain coming and going. The distant seal call seemed to be a grieving female whose white motionless calf lay between her and the rocks running into the sea. Other seals can be heard calling and splashing in the loch while Curlew can also be identified. MKH8040 (ORTF) and MixPre 3 ii was used to capture this doleful ambience.
