Blyth's warbler, (Acrocephalus dumetorum):

This bird is common in the Baltic area and a few males visit Sweden during June. It is active
singing all day, but mostly when dark.

A learning experiment can be done with this recording: Even if the bird is singing a solo,
without other singing birds around - there is a quite audible difference between stereo and
mono. Try it! The recording is stereo - copy one channel and make a mono file. Compare.

The equipment used was a Telinga PRO3 with the first generation stereo microphone.
The DAT was a Sony TCD-D3. It was digitally transferred to my PC by a Tascam DA-P1.

I used WaveLab to do filtering (-12 db below 700Hz)

Using a modem, it takes a while. It's worth it. Then use good headphones, sit back
and enjoy. Don't play louder than what it would be in real life.

All the best,
Klas.
