Why does it sound so distant?

[@WildAmbience]

The kudu were quite distant in this recording Chase, basically because it was an unattended rig and these were the closest calls I managed to get. Personally I like this as an example of a 'species in habitat' recording where you can hear the call in context with the other sounds of species sharing the same space. But I would like to get some closer recordings in the future!
