Thanks again Mr. Rob Danielson for suggestion. As I have found in 
the discussions in this group normal parabolas are not good for 
low frequency sounds. How are shortgun mikes Sennheiser 416T 
(Short shortgun)and 804 (Long shortgun) and 815T for birdsound 
recording in tropical forests-especially low frequency sound? 
These mikes-used ones-may be available in the bugget I have. Any 
suggestions please!
