Recordist's notes
Recorded 3 days later in exactly the same spot with the same normal and underwater mics, but with no wind. The drips are much more active and there is much less bass from the underwater mic than in the recording with strong wind. There is a small sluice at this place. The higher level water on one side easing over the barrier causes the drips whose sound is also audible under the surface.
