    Help needed to find the right destination

    I've been several times in the last 10 years or so, I love it there! I always hire a car at the airport & drive thete, a car isn't essential once it's there but it's really handy for getting to the further away trails or popping down to the gap Steven's Place is basically a bed & breakfast...

    Equipment suggestion for recording owls for research

    I use a zoom H5 a lot for nocturnal recording, mostly seabirds not owls, haven't seen a owl for years! The recorder is great but the XY capsule isn't brilliant, unless birds are very noisy and close, so you'll need an external mic if you want to get recordings from 100+m away
