The sound of the calm water gently lapping against a stone beach was intoxicating and we couldn't…

While staying in Kentville, Nova Scotia we were within a short walk of Miner's Marsh where we made loads of field recordings at all hours of the day and night.  The crooning frogs in this recording are among our favorites:
