This recording was made on a sunny day in March on the east coast
of Scotland at a place called Seaton Cliffs, using the Sony
HiMD MiniDisc Recorder MZ-NH 1 in the PCM mode, the Soundman
OKM II with the A 3 Adapter and a windshield.
The microphones were worn like headphones, while doing the recording.
For the best result, listen to this track using headphones.
One could hardly hear the waves because of the noise, the seagulls
made.

Same day, same equipment and just a little bit down the shore.
No seagulls here, but nice waves.

This recording was done in Highland Perthshire, also in March,
using the same equipment, but with a rycote windjammer and the
microphones used as boundary layer microphones, because of the
wind.
It felt very relaxed on the hilltop with the typical sounds of
Scottish Birds.

This recording was made in a garden in Highland Perthshire, in
the morning, in May, using once again the Soundman OKM II with
the Sony portable DAT recorder
TCD-D7, the SBM-1 (Super Bit Mapping) from Sony and a Sennheiser
Dummy Head (Kunstkopf) to hold the microphones. Later, like all
the sound samples here on this website, it was transfered to mp3.

Same garden with a Robin singing and plenty of insects. Listen
to this with headphones and you feel those bumble-bees swarming
around your head. Again the Soundman OKM II with the Sony TCD-D7
DAT recorder and the SBM-1.

Back in Perthshire again with the Sony HiMD MiniDisc Recorder
MZ-NH 1 in the PCM mode and the Soundman OKM II with the A 3 Adapter
. This gear is so easy to carry, that it is no problem to take
it on a walk. No wind, so no problems on that score, while doing
the recording. Don´t those sheep sound human?

Nighttime means owl-time, at least in spring. Recorded in April
2009, using a different equipment. This time two AT 3031 microphones
from AudioTechnica, the Shure FP-24 preamp and a R-09HR recorder
