Latest additions to the website
A warm welcome to the Wildlife Sound Recording Society (WSRS) website. The Society welcomes anyone who is interested in or has an appreciation of the sounds made by wildlife.
A core aim of the society is to encourage participation in the collection of these wonderful sounds, and to promote the need to understand their meanings.
Through its members, the Society fosters developing recording skills and techniques as well as promoting the study of bioacoustics. Members of WSRS benefit from learning about how to go about recording wildlife sounds, where to go, what equipment to use, what to do with the sounds that have been captured, as well as being alerted to some of the pit-falls to avoid.
New to wildlife sound recording? Take a look at our newcomer's guide to find out what you need to get started at a modest cost.

WSRS Members’ Day 2010
The 2010 Members’ Day was a great success, there was a real buzz of enthusiasm throughout the day. The venue was new to us but proved exceptionally good and with a fine pub just yards away! As always the day was an ideal occasion to exchange information on sound recording as well as to catch up with old friends.
The afternoon was packed with a bioacoustics talk on Blackbird song plus a presentation on the WSRS website. A sound quiz challenged us all but perhaps the highlight was the annual WSRS Competition award ceremony. Once again there were some excellent recordings and worthy winners.
WSRS is most grateful to its sponsors:
SOUND NETWORK who generously
provided a prize of equipment for the overall, SILVER FOX, winner and
EDIROL
for providing a prize for the winner of the RESTRICTED Category.
