Martyn,
The answer is to the first question is "sort of'. I 've recorded in 20
plus sites scattered across several of the North Coast Ranges,
but it was downconverted upper audible to ultrasound only as
part of examining what bat species were present.
It is a topographically and vegetatively very diverse area; I haven't
seen enough to have a basis for naming a favorite spot. Timber
extraction rates from these forests have been high in the last few
decades relative to some other areas and you can see it easily.
