    This thread is very interesting and I have bought an old book on this kind of thing. I will post a thread in the Books forum with possibility of a new competition.

    That is amazing, we are telepathic. I was thinking of Towan Head in Newquay. I went there last year following the instructions of a book and found they had cleaned it up so it was birdless on the day! Darn surfers, the human kind!

    Bristol Birder. Strange, I have never come across it before birding. Thanks for mentioning that. You all can't read what I call Starlings! It's unprintable!

    I am guilty of making up names mainly to give the bird an affectionate handle. An example was calling a Sedge Warbler a Sedgie recently. I do not know that many names as I am quite fresh to birding. I have dipped out on a Dipper! Dip out must be a pure birding term as it is not in my dictionary...
