Yeah man. Now if it were me and I were in Andy's place I'd get a whole
bunch of mics 8 to be exact as he says he has the Zoom F8 to do 7.1
surround sound. Which is what I'd truely love to do. Hence why the H6
over the H5 which is what people grab when they buy the AT-8022 stereo
mic I have. It's based on the AT-4021 by the way.

I had a look at the link. Most bird watchers want to focus-record an individual
bird song sometimes out of many background songs. A dawn Chorus is all the
birds in the area - not just a single bird. As Hamit suggests a stereo mike
might be more likely to do this successfully.
PS: last time I heard Andy was living in rural Scotland, so maybe not a big
garden, but a lot of habitat. I know birds are territorial, but they tend to
sing from adjoining gardens to, and I'm sure Andy isn't so possessive he only
wants the birds singing in just his garden alone. You'll find a dawn chorus is
just as big weather heard from a small garden or an estate for that very
reason. 😉

Hello John,
They don’t cut out sharply it’s usually shown as a heart shape tapering down to
the point. Obviously, Andy has done some research and his post caused me to do
so as I use a shotgun in the booth. Andy did not want ambient sound. He wanted
to record bird song from his garden. Unless he lives in a huge estate it is not
going to be that wide of a field. I found that bird watchers use a shotgun mic
although this is with a camera. Even professional sound recordist uses a
shotgun. See this:

From what I've read a shot-gun mike is so directional that even being
off-target a little will result in poor quality sound. I doubt it would be the
best for ambient recordings.

Hello Andy,
It is down to you and how much you want to spend. I follow the Booth Junky who
uses a shotgun microphone a lot. He uses the Sennheiser MKH-416. I haven’t been
able to afford one of those but I do have the MKH-166 which I purchased used
from eBay. I absolutely love it and is my mic of choice. I think that would
really do the job.

Hi all.
I've got both the Zoom H6 and the F8n, but the only microphones I have are the
2 clip on ones that I origionally got with the H6.
I'm wanting to record the Dawn Chorus in my garden but don't have a clue as to
which microphone , or best type, to buy and where to buy it.
I think I need a directional Shot-gun microphone with a large Dead-Cat
windscreen, and also about 3 meters of cable with the appropriate XLR plugs.
Can anyone please give me some advice.
Also, My Zoom H6 is playing up. I think I've changed an inportant option
within the menues. I tried recording bird calls and the recording was
extremely poor. Is there perhaps a function within the H6 that Re-sets the
device back to factory settings.
I hope you are all okay and enjoying this period of noise pelution silence to
get very nice recordings. If so I'd love to here some samples.
Very best wishes and please take care of yourselves.
Andy Logue from Scotland.
