Reminds me of my Field Study days in the UK. This is a fantastic course covering exactly the subjects I needed to support my wildlife interests. The Miranda team most welcoming as usual including Keith who took great delight on my arrival in telling me that I was the only male on the course. The bonus of this is that I have my own room so peace and quiet between dawn and dusk birding ventures.
The course participants are a great group and are fun too and all seem to contribute in some way to the energy and interest of this magic place.
