I'm currently on holiday in Cape Breton Highlands National Park in Nova
Scotia. One of the main reasons for coming here (inspired by Mark Brennan's
recordings) was to find a place where I could record away from the constant
rumble of noise in New York's Hudson Valley. It is also a chance to put my
new Telinga SSM through its paces.
Early yesterday morning I headed out to a fairly remote lake to record the
dawn chorus, set up the SSM and an LS-100 beside the lake, and headed back
to the car (the temperature had fallen close to freezing point). At one
point I heard a lot of water noises, so headed down to see what was going
on. As I arrived, I saw a female moose with a tiny calf emerge from the
lake mist, plodding along the lake edge straight towards my site. Not
wanting to disturb them I headed back to the car and waited. What happened
next can be heard here:

headphones).
The SSM will certainly be getting more workouts this week.
