Hello All,
I have also more or less decided to purchase the Olympus LS-10 with
Sennheiser ME66/K6 shotgun microphone for recording only bird
calls/songs and other ambient forest sounds. As part of the package
deal I am also buying a cheap pair of Sennheiser headphones. Marinos
K. rightly points out that wind is a big factor but buying a
windjammer/wind protector is an added expense ($100 plus). Now I am
battling with alternative ideas for the latter. A double set of thick
cotton socks, for instance..? I must add that I am doing this for
personal pleasure and sharing it with friends on a laptop.
Cheers,
Kiran Srivastava
