"Often inaccessible, perched out on a cliff or established on an island, sea-bird colonies are often out of bounds in order to assure their protection. Thus anyone simply out for a walk or the amateur ornithologist has finely the chance of hearing these surprisingly strong and beautiful sound atmosphere. On this CD the listener can become absorbed in 62 minutes of the fascinating world of sounds of seabird colonies recorded at a few remarkable coastal sites." Jean-C. RochE & Patrick FrEmeaux
