Recordist's notes
Praia do Barril is a long beach island. This recording was made on the side facing land, there are no waves and as a result it's quieter than the other side. You can hear birds and small fish splashing in the water near the shore. As it is also close to Faro airport you can hear an airplane at the beginning and end of the recording. File - Wav, 48kHz, 24bit Recorder - Zoom H4N. Microphones - pair of Uši Pro by LOM
