Recordist's notes
Small rectangular boat pound with tiny boats for kids in it. Inside the Portsmouth Historic Dockyards. We can hear the wind (quite a windy day), seagulls, road work and traffic of the city in the background, people passing by behind the recorder and pigeons flying around. Made with the built-in microphones (XY setup) of a Tascam Portacapture X8 and a windscreen.
