Recordist's notes
A beautiful March day on a slow moving small electric boat hired for 2 hours to enjoy the broads and channels in this peaceful landscape. Several Marsh Harriers were gliding overhead, sometimes displaying to each other. The electric motor sound is audible but compared to diesel thankfully quiet.
