Recorded hand held on Olympus LS-11 built-in mics with foams and fluffy, about two feet back from small window. Only editing was cuts due to wife coming into room and making noise!

Rain and thunder (iPhone) 27 August 2019 19:01:04

Recorded in Sarnau north of Brecon south Wales

Songthrush (turdus Philomelos)

WhooperSwans

An unusually still and sunny day in early February. Recorded with built in mics on LS-100 (wish I'd had better equipment with me!) Sat in car with window open, parked on side of road. There's a bit of odd noise, possible holding noise, at one point on this but I decided to leave it. I love the sound of all corvids.

Small Rookery Plus Others

This is part of a recording I made from my bedroom window, starting at four a.m. I live close to, although not on, a major road (A605) that’s normally very busy, but during lockdown is much quieter. As luck would have it, a main sewer pipe collapsed just outside prior to this recording and there’s now traffic lights and a pump going 24/7!
The recording was made using a cheap pair of mono lavaliers that I converted to stereo, clipped onto the open upper window light.  The recorder was a Yamaha W24 which has the enormous advantage of being able to set a timer. So a very cheap setup, all items via eBay. Blackbird and Songthrush dominate, with backup vocals by Wren, Sparrows etcetera.

A lockdown morning at home

This was about 04.30 one early summer morning (5th July). I record using the timer function on my Olympus LS-3 via a cheap pair of lavalier mics clipped onto the top light of my East facing bedroom window. This works perfectly well for diary recordings. The wind in the trees perfectly covers a pump and generator close by on roadworks.
As always, this is best listened to with headphones.
