Personally I like naturesound MS recordings made with an eight and an omni.=

It sounds "spacier" as you get more ambience.
You can use a MKH70, but you must expect a quite "dry" recording. I think
it will work best when you are quite near the bird, say a few meters, when=

you don't expect so much ambience anyway. When the bird sounds "far away"
and the "natural" would be some ambience, such a recording will sound
strange. At least to my ears.
