UK - Shropshire-based equipment supplier Alana Ecology reports that it has just passed a significant milestone, selling its 300th Edirol R-09HR hand-held digital recorder, on this occasion to the National Trust.

Since 1981, bats and their roosts in the UK have been protected by law. Several thousand people are involved in the monitoring of different bat species and the assessment of their conservation needs, and, at the heart of the bat workers's kit bag, can be found a high-spec portable digital recorder or the Edirol R-09HR, as recommended by the Bat Conservation Trust.

"The R-09HR has been very well received among bat workers for its ease of use and high-quality results," explains Andrew McLeish of Alana Ecology. "Typically they are using it for recording and analysing calls to identify bats in the field, so its simple operation - with a nice big record button - is appealing to researchers already heavily laden with bat detector, torch, etc. And it can record directly as a .WAV file, a format used by nearly all the popular sound analysis software programmes."
