For some time now I've been looking for a gadget to help identify birdsong whilst I'm out walking. I didn't get very far until a friend asked if my camera took videos. It does and good ones too so now I simply point the camera at the tree, zoom in and I get it on film as well as sound. When I get home I compare it with my BBC library. I like a story with a happy ending  |

It is init, don't know why I didn't think of it in the first place, especially as it won't cost anything. All I need to do is run the video on my laptop along side the BBC birdsong site. It's so easy to video so guess who I'll be practicing on |

'Hank' is that Marvin? you 'rocker' you ;D It should talk, I do the same though I've not played Hank yet! I have discovered 'Spotify' a site that lets you chose and play literally anything. You can't download (unless you want to pay) but who wants to download when it's at your fingertips. All I do is run a cable to my Quad and I can enjoy Eliza Doolittle to Chopin. AJ you should try it as it's quicker than putting a CD on!!, you get to see the list, and there's a loooong lost of choices. |
