Welcome fellow brit!! You are very fortunate to have such good equipment to
start off with, nice one! What type of Telinga do you have, Twin Dat mic or
the science?
If it is specimen sounds you are wanting to record then this is the way to
go, the dish is a wonderful tool for this very thing. I would get use to
recording with the dish and practicing until you start playing with M/S
systems.
Nice to have you aboard :)

Make every Garden a wildlife Habitat!
When the animals come to us,
Asking for our help,
Will we know what they are saying?
When the plants speak to us
In their delicate, beautiful language,
Will we be able to answer them?
When the planet herself
Sings to us in our dreams,
Will we be able to wake ourselves, and act?

Subject: [Nature Recordists] HI !
Jim Morgan has asked for a few biographical notes from me, as a newcomer to
the group.
I'm from Salisbury England.
My interest in sounds is bird orientated, having been watching birds as an
amateur most of my life - so for over 40 years.
The interest in recording birds is new - and is directed at one bird in
particular (though obviuously my new found toys will be directed at other
items of interest) that being the Cetti's Warbler (Cettia cetti). This is
directed at producing sonagrams to identify individual birds in my area to
examine population changes, esp movements, on an individual basis.
Recording equipment aquired (secondhand) is a Sharp Minidisc recorder, a
Sony Professional Walkman (cassette) plus a Telinga parabolic mic, and
(just received) a Sennheiser ME80.
After a few days of reading the postings, I'm getting confused by the hi-te=
c
nature of some postings. So expect some dumb questions in due course.
Apologies in advance.
In the mean time can any one direct me to a quick giude on stereo
recording - I'm due to visit some sea bird colonies in June and would rathe=
r
like to have a go at recording all that noise - sorry, glorious sound!
