This catbird's favourite seat is on top of the tractor-shaped suet dispenser.

Thank you smiley - biggrin

Great videos here - that is fascinating to see the cormorants at work, and excellent to see the catbird enjoying the suet.

The crow video is amazing - great footage, and I love the fantasy sustain sound - perfect choice for 'The Sound of Silence' smiley - magic

Hi folks! I enjoy the videos. Just … I think that might be an anhinga rather than a cormorant!

Beautiful flowers, great voice!

A piece of advice: I know you're a big fan of the bass player, but the vocalist needs to be much louder. Especially considering how good she is. smiley - smiley

I don't know what you're using to record, but when I'm not using a video camera, all I have is a little hand-held thingy that cost a whole 25 bucks. I have found that placing it off the treble end of the organ or synthesizer works best - on a towel. That way, the bass has farther to travel.

If you're doing elaborate things with mics, of course, and have a mixing board, then bob's yer uncle. smiley - winkeye If I had more than one instrument to record, that's the way I'd go. Two new hobbies in one pandemic? smiley - run

Next on the list, I didn't record that... Blame the missus or the dog?
