2 x AT4022, 1 x BP4025 (stereo microphone) and 2 x Clippy recorded at unity gain on the Zoom F6 and normalised in reaper (+22db for AT4022, +24db for BP4025, +16db for FEL Clippy). 

AT4022 sound the quietest to me, with BP4025 very slightly more noisy, and the Clippy microphones quite significantly more noisy,

On a mission to sound record all of Ireland's bird species: I am an ornithologist who loves to get out in and sound record nature. Happiest when as far away from anthropogenic noise as possible, although I do and will record and share it now and then, when I am in an interesting location.

This account is intended to host my longer bird recordings and recordings which don't belong on Xeno-canto (general nature sounds such as waves, weather, etc, as well as any other non-avian sounds)

Most of my birds recordings (almost 5000) can be found on my Xeno-canto page: https://xeno-canto.org/contributor/PAEQEUHPFQ

See my website here: http://irishwildlifesounds.com/

I primarily record with the following:

-Dodotronic Hi-Sound Stereo Parabola
-Audio Technica BP4025
-Clippy EM272 matched pair

-Zoom F6
-Olympus LS-12
-SM4 Mini: 2 x permanent devices living in coastal bird hotspots, recording every night of the year, from dusk to dawn, monitoring nocturnal migration of birds.

Stereo soundscape recordings. Sometime nature, sometimes people, sometimes machinery. Sometimes quiet things like a single branch creaking in the wind on Dartmoor, sometimes odd moments in the city. Mostly local, but sometimes travelling. 

Poetry and recordings. Sounds are living memories.
Poésie et enregistrements. Le son est une mémoire vivante

Information technologist by trade.  Photographer with a keen interest in the natural world and its inhabitants.  Beginning to learn about recording sound; mostly so that I can learn to better recognise the creatures I hear but don't see when out and about.
