Hello
I tried to post this before, but it seems to have disappeared.
I am hoping someone can help me find the right torch to help me find owls when out in the forest at night. Obviously a tight focus beam would I imagine be best, as the target is always relatively small. I may be up to 60-80 metres away so it would need to reach this far. I would like the light to make the bird look as natural as possible. I have started with a LED Lenser P7, which is great with its ability to focus the beam, but its simply not got the power. I dont want to spend a fortune so am not looking for top of the range, but a reasonable priced torch. Perhaps I am asking for the world, I dont know! But I figured you guys if anyone would be able to advise.
I have read the threads about looking for mammals at night, but this isnt quite the same thing.
Thanks very much
Adam
