Hi Gregory,
The clip is not 'linked' to anything so I hope it makes it.
This recording is unedited so there is background city traffic. Recorded
late at night, June 2018.You will hear the relentless, almost metronomic
raspung/chewing of Arion hortensis, the voracious garden slug. Two, I
suspect.
Using a JRF hydrophone here well tucked into the compost. . Be careful,
with slugs. They will clamber over a hydrophone and may try a few rasps on
the coating.
