This page needs updating, sorry for dead links!

In general you will find on this page the more theoretical and technical information you may need to build up your hobby or profession. Like: How to make your own Bat-detector or Parabola, About the quality and lifespan of tapes, How other bioacoustici behave in the field and make their recordings, and so on. There is a lot more information on the internet than we can mention here. If you need specific information you can't find here: try a search engine with some related words.
