which in my part of the woods is almost everytime 
EDIT:
recovered my audioMoth from it’s first deployment in the dense wooded are of our main park in Ljubljana. Really wanted to see what activity I might capture in the night time, but after going through the recorded material I mostly found just occasional branch interruption, probably by some passing by animal or random falling debris and distant traffic like motors, cars and trains.
I’ve had it set to 48khz, but managed to pick up some bat echolocation near the top range of of 20khz and as low as 9khz. This led me down to research a bit and I soon found out that it is most likely a Nathusius Pipistrelle, which can be found foraging in the dense wooded area - I’ve compared these to the recordings I made outside my apartment window with Echo Touch 2 and found out that we do have a higher activity of Kuhl’s and Soprano Pippistrelles, characterised by more monotone calls in higher ranges. So, at least an interesting sidequest from rather uneventful 3 nights of recording.
I do want to ask for those owners of audioMoth, does your unit have quite a lot of self noise or rather bad signal to noise ratio?
and what would be a good configuration for quieter evenings?
