recording bird song

[pete_inthehills]

Hi

I'm not very good at identifying birds by their song and we have an amazing din for the dawn chorus. I was hoping to record it.

what's the best way of recording bird song? Is there any cheap equipment that you would recommend?

Hi Pete - have a look in the recording equipment forum (http://www.birdforum.net/forumdisplay.php?f=481).

Maybe the best option is a Remembird recorder (http://www.remembird.com/) which fits on your bins and costs about £150. It's good so long as the birds are fairly close and it's not too windy.
