I was in despair, ready to even read the manual (that's pretty serious) when 
out with my Telinga Pro7, connected to a decent recorder. I could pick up 
birdsong with clarity, as well as an intermittent click from heaven knows 
where. I checked all the user, monitoring and recording settings, verified that 
my phone was off, routed the mic through an SQN (I'm not sure what I expected 
by doing that), emptied the grasshoppers out of the parabola etc. still the 
incessant click every few seconds. I guess you know where I'm going with this - 
sure enough, I was standing a few metres away from an electric fence. 

I know what it is now, on the few occasions it has occurred since.

I couldn't say if it is the mic or the recorder though.
