If that's the case then perhaps a strap with built in recorder and mic might be one way to go - easy to transfer from one optic to another and if it was small and light enough not too much of a burden.How you turn it on and off might need some thought - also whether to try and go for some kind of directional mic so that calls might be recorded at the same time as descriptions? Maybe a little ambitious though.Voice-activated recording and playback hooked up to a Bluetooth speaker - could possibly be of interest in certain situations but it would need to be robust, waterproof and practically indestructible for tropical birding. The idea of a recording device that I automatically take with me every time I pick up my bins kind of appeals to me - but it would have to be featherweight to catch on I think.CheersPhil :t:</blockquote>
