Software to quickly find what we all want in long recordings

Hi everyone,

today I bought a mini audio recorder with 13h battery life and great ratings on Amazon. So I will soon start placing the recorder on my balcony, mostly on weekends and warm days. Now I need some help from experts, what is the most efficient way to analyse a 8-10h long audio file for the needle in the haystack? I thought of something like a time line which shows any sounds. What are your tools and ways of spending not too much time on checking multi.hour recordings but also not missing what we are looking for?

Thanks a lot ;-)

Thanks a lot, my brand new voice recorder arrived today and is already placed outside. Looking forward to using your mentioned software and see if I caught anything interesting. :-)
