I used to have a Telinga flexible dish and it did a good job of fsinocug in on sounds but I found it to be very difficult to spot on something. I'd hear a bird in a tree and, with headphones on, start scanning and eventually find it if it hadn't flown off by then. If you can see the bird, that helps. I also seem to recall that handling noise was quite a problem because with the flexible dish not only did I have to be careful of handling but any breeze would rattle the dish; it was quite resonant and ringy . I found the dish to be a little more trouble than it was worth but that's a personal preference thing. I was working for a well financed operation at the time and purchased an AT-895 adaptable array mic and that worked well for the kind of things I was recording (I believe it's discontinued now).
