At last I have managed to be able to record live sound along with the video.
The harsh cackle at the end of the first clip is the sound of a Magpie.
Not bad sound at all. An expensive job feeding starlings sunflower seeds.
ReplyDeleteAdrian: It's the sort of wireless microphone system broadcasters use. There is some noise which I am trying to cure.

DeleteAdrian: I must find out how to do that. To me most of the 'noise' sounds like a dry or bad joint somewhere.
DeleteManners! Starlings do have a social hierarchy though, wonder how it applies here.
ReplyDeleteSimon: About 10 minutes before I started recording there was one which was driving all the others away. I guess the group I filmed were the at the bottom of the pecking order.
DeleteWe had frost but no snow John.
ReplyDeleteThe starlings must have thought it was their birthdays.
