Most useful microphones for nature recording.

["sounds.images" sounds.images]

I just wondered if members would be willing to share more info on their mic=
rophones commonly used in the field.

I want to make improvements in the right direction.

So far I have a:

Rode Ntg2
Set of Lav mics for binaural.
One contact mic from Jez. ( want another and a pair of hydrophones)

A pair of Rode M3s.

Other than a parabolica what would be better than the M3s and what else sho=
uld I be considering.. ( still tempted by the Telinga SSM...)

Cash is in short supply right now, but want to make the right choices. I th=
ink a list like this might be interesting to those new to field recording n=
ature too.
