Hi there,

These units are all full spectrum ultrasonic recorders for leaving out on site.

The Ranger & Chorus, Batloggers A+, A2, C2 & S2, Pettersson D500X and Wildlife Acoustics SM4BAT, SM5BAT and MINI BAT 2 are passive recorders. There is also the Elekon Batlogger WE X for long-term remote bat monitoring of wind turbines.

The SM5BAT, Mini Bat 2, Ranger & Chorus can be used for both acoustic (birds/frogs) and ultrasonic recordings.

For passive use it's a matter of personal preference (and budget), as well as how you'll use them (see below).

Call me if you're not sure which is best for you, on 0333 9000 927.

You'll get a free bat calls book worth £35: either "British Bat Calls" by Jon Russ, "Social Calls of the Bats of Britain and Ireland" (first edition) by Neil Middleton et al, "Social Calls of the Bats of Britain and Ireland" (second edition) by Neil Middleton et al, "Bats of Britain & Europe" by Christian Dietz & Andreas Kiefer, "Identifying Bats of Britain and Ireland" by James Shipman, "Is That a Bat?" by Neil Middleton or a voucher worth £35; with the Titley Ranger; Elekon Batloggers A+, A2, M, M2, C2 & WE; Pettersson D500X; Wildlife Acoustics SM4BAT & SM5BAT.

I want you to be 100% happy with your purchase so I'll help you in any way I can.

Feel free to call me on 0333 9000 927 (+44 333 9000 927 from outside the UK) or email me.

Warm Regards,

Martin.

Comment from a client:

"My bat detector microphone failed during a dawn survey and knew that I had a group of dusk surveys starting in two days time. I was not in a good place as I did not have a spare, but my equipment was less than a year old.

After my survey I contacted Martin by email and he called me back on the same day, a few hours later, after a quick nap. He told me he did not have a part in stock, but had already contacted the supplier on my behalf.

The next day I received a replacement part, free of charge and express delivered from Switzerland. I thought it was amazing, and could not believe it was resolved so quickly.

Due to Martin's exceptional service I was good to go with the surveys, and I really would like to thank Martin and Wildlife Countryside Services for making the dusk surveys happen."
