Hi
I’m looking for something I can use to record bird sounds on foreign birding trips instead of taking my full kit with me, something which meets as many of the following criteria as possible:
- small & lightweight (ideally able to be handheld and operated while using bins)
- usable in humid tropical habitats
- accurate sound capture across a wide range of frequencies
- if possible, a single unit rather than a separate recorder and microphone
- easy to use
I don’t want to produce top quality recordings with it, just something that’s good enough to capture sounds that I can produce sonograms from, to confirm identities of species where call is an important factor in distinguishing from lookalikes.
Any suggestions welcome.
Thanks
Steve
