Hi Mike, David et al.
I've wanted a decent sound recording setup for a while, but finding
the bits of equipment that work well together seems to be a pretty
complex exercise. Different recorders with charged or uncharged mics,
amps, preamps, wind baffles, booms, omnidirectional or directional
mics - and that's just the gear side of things, never mind the
frequencies, decibels and the like on the technical side.
What might help is if an expert like David could suggest a few kits
that would work well together (specifically for bird recording) at a
couple of different price points. A sort of dummies guide to sound
recording equipment would make it a bit more accessible to novices
like me.
Cheers,
Stewart

I pass on the following appeal from David Stewart, the bird song-and-
call expert, for birders to show as much interest in obtaining
records of their voice as well as their appearance. In this case I
am one of the guilty because for much of my life my vision has been
superior to my hearing. Moreover, with age, the latter deteriorated
faster!
