Recordist's notes
Most of the sound are by a family of Gadwall ducks , including the high squeak. It is a moorhen pattering across the lake surface and later splashes are a great crested grebe diving underwater. A heron looks on silently. The heavy bass in this recording comes from an industrial area some distance away.
