Cheers
Yes please.
The mic has its own battery. I'm not sure if the noise is electrical interference or a hiss, how do I tell the difference? How do you dry the cable contacts?
I use a Tashcam DR-05X with a Neewer NW-81 Super Uni Directional Electrec Condenser Microphone for #nocmig I'm getting interference on the recordings. Is it because I'm using a cheap microphone @simongillings.bsky.social
1st attempt and I'm impressed. We have peacocks nearby and it struggled with their calls, got loads of random suggestions. Also my greenhouse clicks at night and suggested things like dusky warbler, ortolan, rb shrike etc. Spot on for moorhen and water rail.

Cheers, I've dusted off my #nocmig kit as keep hearing birds passing over after dark.
Is this @chirpity-nocmig.bsky.social software easy to use? Do you need to download anything else to work alongside it? ##nocmig
It seems in the last couple of weeks that when I go out into the garden after dark I hear various birds passing over. Lately I've heard teal, wigeon and tonight the long drawn out call of a plover. Couldn't determine if golden or ringed, so much easier in daylight #Mulbarton #vismig

Starting to feel like spring in the garden today with frogs spawning in the pond and bumblebees emerging #Mulbarton #Gardenwildlife
I had a play with one at Cley Spy, really impressive. Wonder when they'll create one that is multi functional, record video, thermal imaging etc
I'm sure it would prefer to be released along the UK coastline 🤣

Well worth paying a fiver for 🤣
It's quite amazing that there have been 3 red flanked bluetails recorded this winter when last autumn there weren't that many records.

Tomato seedlings are coming along nicely. Seeds sown on 2nd Feb and pricked out into individual pots this evening #allotmentlife #growyourown
On my list 🤣
What came of the eider, did it survive?, has it been released?, were any tests done to establish its origins?
Last year I mainly stayed local, apart from Unst in the autumn. This is reflected in my @birdtrack.bsky.social stats. Most frequently birded site was Mulbarton, Norfolk, which I visited 423 times & recorded 61 species. The place where I recorded the most species was Strumpshaw Fen RSPB - 88 species.
Thanks, appreciate that.
Do they email this to you, I haven't received anything.
