Below is a list of comments about our Birdwatchers' range:

"I just wanted to write to say a big thank you for encouraging me a few weeks ago to purchase the 'Bird Mike' kit.

Now in my mid fifties, I have had a passion for birds for as many years as I can remember and whilst I would pride myself in being able to identify most any bird I spotted, whilst either looking out of the back kitchen window, or on a walk in the countryside, the same couldn't be said of my skills of identification by sound. That is of course until now!

The Bird Mike, is one of the most ingenious pieces of equipment I've ever come across and yet is so easy to use.

Over the years, I have lost count of the number of people I have encouraged in to the world of ornithology, including my wife, who when we first met couldn't tell a Blackbird from a Crow, nor wanted to and yet is now a real 'twitcher'. So imagine how much pleasure I am getting all over again, introducing family and friends to the world of bird sounds." Keith Brown- BirdMIKE Pack customer 2011

"Such an amazing package, simple and ingenious" - Malcolm Tate, Editor Waterlife Magazine

"...this is clever and impressive" - Rob Hume, Editor RSPB Birds '07

"The instant access is impressive – I think this is the real strength of birdvoice. We all struggle to retain a clear impression of a sound in our mind for any length of time, so the quick reference and immediate comparisons offered by the talking pen technology are a great help. No elaborate menus on a tiny LCD screen or endless finger-tapping to locate the right CD track."

"Having been Devon's County Bird Recorder in the past I know how difficult people find bird song recognition, BirdVoice is the best way that I know to learn British bird songs and calls, it is so instantaneous and easy to move from one call or song to another. It even helped a close birding friend of mine to learn the call of Lesser Whitethroat while we were still watching the bird and then compare it to Blackcap and Garden Warbler in seconds! Geoff Sample's commentary is brilliantly concise when I find it difficult to explain some of the more subtle differences in song or call."
