Fascinating stuff, thanks Bernie. There's something I like about this whole=
 sound world going on completely below our awareness - even in a boating la=
ke in a Devon seaside town which some might say is a little mundane. I'm wo=
ndering now whether there's a difference between day and night in terms of =
activity? I recall being told that rock pools are more active at night - wh=
ich will be my next hydrophone adventure.
