There also appears to be a significant increase in the insect sounds in the=
 second cut. There are a lot more flying insects, bees by the sounds I can =
hear. However, there does appear to be a difference in the recording gain t=
hat was set for the two recordings.
In my experience facing the parabola into the wind is quieter than having t=
he wind at the back of the parabola. My thoughts are that the wind coming a=
round the parabola creates turbulence that affect the mics when facing away=
 from the wind. Facing the wind the air becomes "compacted" into the dish a=
nd reduces turbulence within the dish and therefore around the mics. Just a=
 speculation.
