Recordist's notes

I made this recording standing beside the River Exe in a field called third marsh at Fortescue Farm. There used to be a ford across the river here and you can still see the lane - now overgrown - on the other side of the river. The recording was made using an Audio Technica BP4029. The recording device was a Roland R-26.
