Under water noise in a ditch in a farmland. Sounds like eating.

Real strange noise recorded in that didge. Sometimes you hear an eating-noise. I could see the mics and there were no larger animals visual. When you listen carefully in the beginning you just hear the eating sound in the right microphone and not in the left one. The mics were hanging in the underwater vegetation. That makes me to conclude that this noise was very close to the right microphone. I thing it must be an insect that is eating the plants.
After a while you hear the same noise at the left as well.
Sometimes some bubbles come out of the thin mud.
WHO KNOWS WHAT ANIMAL I HAVE RECORDED??? My wife did a search on the internet but could not find anything useful about sounds in fresh waters.
Location: 51° 42' 38.00" N 5° 13' 49.00" E, ditch Voorste Zeedijk, polder Haarsteeg/'s-Hertogenbosch, The Netherlands.
Conditions: summer, July 20th, 2014, 8pm, no wind.
Gear chain: Two Aquarian Audio Hydrophones H2a XLR 2 cm from each other, just under the surface at the edge of a 50 cm deep polder-ditch in Holland > Sound Devices 302 >Tascam dr-100 Mk2.
When you use this sound it would be nice if you spent a voluntarily donation to freesound.
YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO CREDIT/ATTRIBUTE me (klankbeeld) and freesound.org in your work if you use this sound. Do not use an indirect link. Do not simply copy/past elsewhere on the internet please. Thank you.
To hear, you first have to listen

Hey ! You probably found what animal it is since 2014 but if not I can tell you.
This is the sound produced by some eating snails using their "radula" a kind of tongue covered with tiny but super strong teeth. They produce this sound by eating algeas underwater.
