Wildlife Spot effects
 

Hi. I'm new on the board.
I'm needing to do quite a lot of recording of spot effects for a kids TV show - birds mostly. From what I've seen here and elsewhere, I'm clearly best (in my case) with a parabolic setup. So I've fairly made up my mind to go with a Telinga 1mm dish and a Sennheiser ME-62 mic with K6 electronics.

However, I though I'd consult the oracle before getting out the card 'case someone could recommend a superior alternative to either item at a comparable price. Data will be recorded to a laptop-based system and Edirol R-09 as backup.

Many thanks for any last minute advise.
