"Fifteen years ago, Andrew Flintham made a best-selling recording of
the birds which make up the dawn chorus. But like many rock musicians,

unbroken recording of 'nature's alarm clock'.
Mr Flintham, whose Brecklands Dawn Chorus was the biggest-selling
wildlife recording of the 1990s, said: 'The microphone picks up lots
of background noise you can't hear while you're there.
'When you play it back you find a drone of traffic noise from nearby
roads or planes in the distance..."

I wonder also about his recording technique / equipment. He's a "rock
musician" Does he know his arse from his elbow ?
Did he have the right kind of microphone ?
