Dear Gruff
The British Library's National Sound Archive has over 140,000 recordings of
most species of birds anywhere in the world (over 8,000 species), a major
resource for birdwatchers. Copies of many recordings can be prepared to
your specification on DAT, CD or analogue tape or cassette. We do not
deliver sounds by email or over the web. The copying cost depends on the
use to which they are put, but the lowest cost for private users is based o=
n
an hourly rate of =A340 (40 UK pounds) studio time. This equates to about
=A32.50 per species. There are higher charges for those with access to
institutional funds and commercial users. Standard postage is included; VAT
is extra within the EC region.
How to order? Simply choose which tracks you want from our catalogue at ou=
r
website (a direct link to the catalogue is http://cadensa.bl.uk), or if yo=
u
prefer us to choose, send a list of species direct to us. If you don't find
what you want on the catalogue, just ask - only 50% of our collection is on
the catalogue so far, so we might have just what you need. State what the
sounds are needed for (this information we need to uphold the rights of the
copyright owners who gave the recordings). The more notice you can give us
the better, but we can turn around orders within a week if necessary.

Subject: Re: Spring - time for another "Dawn Chorus"?
I recommend that we do a dawn chorus this year. There are some
things that need to be kept in mind. This group has its lowest posts
in April and May because there are so many of us busy in the field.
I would like to see an open spring for no specific date, rather when
spring occures in each recordists area. I would like to see a
submission time open until at least mid June. I will personally have
too many projects going on during April to June to be able to do this
without it being a problem. I would love to see Greg do the edits
for this again but I suspect he also is pretty booked until mid June.
