Good recording in the circunstances. Is good to know they are making the de=
markation of the territory.I use a big parabola in a tripod but walking one=
hipercardioid is good.
Tomorow I will be in Lousal near Gr=E2ndola my city to record once more in=
a wet region. Here the wind and the rain are also very strong. I will post=
here my sunday recording.

I am quite pleased how well it performed. During parts of the walk there w=
ere up to three birds singing together (some distance away) and the omnidir=
ectional nature of the rig would have fitted in well if it were not for the=
other walker's presence.
