Hi,
I just came across this post (funny, I was also just sorting through
my audio recording accessories and cables at the same time). Anyway, I
record bat echolocation calls fairly regularly, using a few different
bat detectors and recorders. I set up my stuff right outside my back
windows, in the direction of a small garden & a few trees. Now here's
the catch: I live in a very urban environment. It may interest you to
know that bats are recorded just about every evening here. There is a
lot of noise around here, it is constant & loud. Buses, large trucks,
etc. drive by the front of the house regularly. People park their cars
in the back, dogs bark from every direction; and sometimes people even
play loud music. And I still manage to pick up bats. I believe their
Summer roosts are in a few places in the back. So I would say that my
local bats have learned to cope with all the noise.
My goal this year is to record an owl (in one of the large public
parks) - What a challenge!
Best regards,
Al
