Thermal Imaging in Turkey
Any body any recent experience of travelling and using, or knowledge of legality of using, a thermal imager in Turkey. I know that there have been posts a while ago about various other countries and I have used one for mammals in various African countries with no issues. Not seen any information on Turkey and struggling to find any accurate source of information.
