Hi all,
For those that may be interested in using an mp3 player to draw birds to you, here is my set-up.
The player is a NJOY from ebay, £16.00 delivered from Hong Kong it does not have any memory you use your own SD or MMC cards.I have a 1GB card in it which I got from 7DAYSHOP for £20.00 delivered. You do not have to spend a fortune on an ipod. All the British bird calls take up only 96.4 mb in mp3, or 74.5 in wma files, so you don’t need a large card. The headphones (which were not included) are Hitachi TMP028 DYNAMIC BOOST the type that clip behind the ear, no other external speakers are required. Turn the volume to full, the bird calls can be heard from the headphones loud enough for the birds to hear, and come and investigate the intruder. It works great.
Scroll through the player until you come to the bird you are after, press play, press repeat one, turn the volume to full, wait for the action.
I have mine mounted in a Tamrack strap accessory system which clips to the shoulder strap of my photo rucksack, this is a handy piece of kit, the clips of the headphones go through the elastic pen holders and they fold away when not in use, when the player is switched on, they stick out either side and I close the velcro flap, the player slips into a pocket below with spare batteries.
I can now walk about with out having to hold the player or speakers, my hands are free for my camera or bins etc. I hope this may be of help to someone, Bert
