Hi all
=20
  Thanks for your help and ideas.  I will remember to take an air  tight pl=
astic bag with me for next time.  As it was I left it  overnight inside bef=
ore packing it up and transporting it home.

  And I was truly amazed with the quality of the recordings from the  Telin=
ga.  it was a grey day yesterday, snowing lightly.  I  was walking beside a=
 river and many ducks were landing and taking  off.  Ok so you can hear the=
m anywhere, but the definition was  incredible.  Guess I'm preaching to the=
 converted ;-)

  All the best
