Hi there,
The Anabat Swift was a great bit of kit, but is no longer available.
The 'replacement' is the Titley Ranger, which can record bats and/or audible species such as birds, frogs, etc. It's around the same price but you can customise it to suit your requirements, whether you want to record bats, birds, or both.
If you want one, with a 60 day 100% Satisfaction Guarantee and a FREE extra year's warranty, plus a free bat calls book worth £35, you'd better get your arse in gear and order yours now!
What can I say about the Titley Ranger?
If you're looking for a passive recorder that's easy to deploy, records in full spectrum and has a built-in GPS, this could be the one to get. It also has exceptional deployment times, up to 100 nights in ultrasonic or 700 hours acoustic recording, on AA batteries.
For a passive recorder with pretty much everything you could want, the Ranger is hard to beat.
With the Ranger you'll also get a free bat calls book worth £35: either British Bat Calls by Jon Russ, Social Calls of the Bats of Britain and Ireland by Neil Middleton et al, Bats of Britain & Europe by Christian Dietz & Andreas Kiefer, Is That a Bat? by Neil Middleton or a £35 voucher.
I want you to be 100% happy with your purchase so call me on 0333 9000 927 for advice, or drop me an email.
Warm Regards,
Martin.

Comment from a client:
"My bat detector microphone failed during a dawn survey and knew that I had a group of dusk surveys starting in two days time. I was not in a good place as I did not have a spare, but my equipment was less than a year old.
After my survey I contacted Martin by email and he called me back on the same day, a few hours later, after a quick nap. He told me he did not have a part in stock, but had already contacted the supplier on my behalf.
The next day I received a replacement part, free of charge and express delivered from Switzerland. I thought it was amazing, and could not believe it was resolved so quickly.
Due to Martin's exceptional service I was good to go with the surveys, and I really would like to thank Martin and Wildlife Countryside Services for making the dusk surveys happen."
