An off the shelf dictaphone is shown. It is a small grey plastic box with two microphones protruding and internal circuitry.

Over 15 years ago the RSPB was building its own dictaphones for remote #seabird acoustic work on the Azores

Nowadays we use off the shelf versions to monitor a whole range of species across the world, from the Gola rainforest to the Shetland Islands

This one is 30 seconds of bird song played back at each test location using the standard @openacousticdevices.info AudioMoth firmware with GPS synchronisation. This one has a couple of test points with additional background noise (a real bird).

Who said you can't look at the wildlife while hiking the #BlueMountainsPeakTrail. We were recording the temperature/ humidity, taking pictures of the animals encountered and used an audiomoth to records bats and frogs. The pictures & some sounds were uploaded to @inaturalist

I (Peter) have been a big fan of @bennjordan.bsky.social's work for ages, so it was great getting such praise for AudioMoth in his latest video.

A fascinating dive into bird vocalisation with some great advice for taking your first steps into listening to the birds around you.
