Today has been a beautiful, sunny day. Real Sunday. Today I recorded for the first time with a contact microphone. I leaned it on the iron pipe, which was part of the observatory's construction. It was interesting to hear the transmission of the human voice and walking along the structure. Pay attention to the timeline of the recording between 1:32 and 2:10 where you will hear how the swans take off. I am pleased with both microphones, which opened new doors for me to the world of audio.

Bird observatory, the place where I recorded everything I heard.

Recorder: ZOOM H5 + C-SERIES PRO CONTACT MICROPHONES (product by jez riley french)
