Echoes started as I was driving west through the fields near Netherwitton towards the moors, it's the first time I've listened to it in years. Then as I got onto the moors proper and entered the long straight to Winter's Gibbet (photo from this morning below) the track entered the bleak middle section that contains the sound of rooks and various electronic wails. It fitted the landscape I was passing through perfectly. Then as I pulled up at the carpark opposite the gibbet the mood and the music changed. The more optimistic end section of Echoes started and I left it playing as I scanned the forest. Before it ended I had peregrine and a displaying goshawk in sight.Result.</blockquote>
