A really nasty example of wind noise in field recording. It was a wild day in Edinburgh, so I went out to record some sounds made by the wind moving things around. I was using a Rode NT4, which is quite sensitive to wind noise, in a full Rycote windshield. It was gale force and the wind was just ploughing into the mic. I tried to shield it with my body, but it was too much. This was such extreme conditions, I'm not sure if any amount of windshielding would have sorted it out.
