I've been recording wildlife sounds since 1968. Member of Wildlife Sound Recording Society since 1975, and currently their Sound Magazine Editor. Special interest in vocabulary recording. I rarely use any studio processing, believing that attention to good fieldcraft should render this unnecessary. 
Winner of several UK & international awards for wildlife sound recording.
