    It is relevant to us old lags John...and it does relate to the origins of listing when we used to be tick hunters rather than twitchers...[but i guess we may be in the minority these days]...! At least it shows the fun aspect of birding rather than the nastier side...which is surely...

Re...'a film'....no good for a film in my opinion...more...

    Paul...[Marc Bolan];)....was with us down the pub last night. He doesn't twitch as much as he used to but still enjoys what we call 'a good bird'... Re the Scillies various 'events' back in the day....we probably would be wise not to mention some of the 'goings on'....certainly not on the...

    Being a birder for over forty years…[and twitching since the early seventies]….my views on ‘listing’ have moderated somewhat… Old habits die hard and I still love a ‘good chase’ but have become…[I think]…a bit more relaxed about the whole thing….[although I still get an adrenaline kick when...

    Re 'elegants'.....it seems that recent dna samples of the 'baseline'...[ie 'good'].. elegant tern in french colony has proved to be a hybrid..?

    My names on 'that list' H2....and i don't really mind...[in fact...it makes me chuckle]...! I've never submitted a list to Lee so i don't know how he totals up the species.....:smoke: Still...i have no axe to grind with Mr.Evans as we have always been polite and helpful to each other whenever...
