Hi All
My two evening walks trying to record Nightingales took place at the Essex =
Wildlife Trust's Fingringhoe Wick Reserve.

Today I visited another of the Trust's reserves at Weeley Hall Wood, again =
with the intent of recording nightingales.

nature_reserve/
I was there late afternoon and enjoyed 90 minutes of almost non stop bird s=
ong. Based on my experience of the two walks I'm reasonably sure they were =
nightingales as they had some of the characteristics explained during the e=
vening walks. If I'm wrong (I'm even more of a tyro at birding than recordi=
ng) please let me know.
I took along two sets of recording equipment. A Sony RH1 minidisc fed by a =
DIY parabolic reflector using two EM172 capsules

and the small barrier sized, head spaced rig mentioned in earlier posts, ag=
ain using EM172 capsules, feeding the Olympus LS-10.
A snippet from the recording made with the parabolic reflector is here

And this is one made with the head spaced barrier

I think I will be visiting this wood again ;-)
