Loaning Bioacoustics Recorders

Hi all!

I'm part of a study which will be looking at seabird bioacoustics in Svalbard this August, trying to track colony activity patterns through sound. We are looking to borrow some acoustic recorders, about 3-15 (project is very flexible in terms of scale). I was wondering if anyone here knows of any loan schemes for this kind of thing, or knows anyone who might be willing to loan something like this? Any model is good for us as long as it's passive acoustic recorders, and they wouldn't all have to be the same kind. We've applied to the Wildlife Acoustics grant scheme and the Titley Scientific loan scheme. Any pointers towards similar things would be much appreciated!

Thanks!
