General Wildlife Recording

 

Specialist Areas

Once you’ve made a few recordings with RememBird you will probably find some that you want to check the identity of. Our own Audio Field-guides provide excellent reference points for many species but these websites provide even more recordings, some audio, some full video to which you can refer online.

The PC application that ships with RememBird lets you cut and export your recordings but you may want to experiment with more advanced techniques such as background noise removal, sonograms etc. There are many tools available for this - and lots of them are completely free.
