Hi,
As readers of Birdwatching magazine will know, there is a section containing details of rare or notable bird sightings, which is organized on a county basis and submitted by volunteer compilers.
For the last 3.5 years, the sightings for Kent has been compiled and submitted by yours truly, despite the fact that I actually live in Surrey (that'll teach me to complain, when I noted that the sightings for Kent were hitherto absent!!)
This wasn't too much of an issue at first, as I used to visit the usual Kent birding hotspots fairly regularly, but these days my birdwatching is pretty-much confined to local patchwork here in Surrey. The crunch is shortly to arrive, as I will be moving house and am therefore likely to spent even less time in Kent.
So..... is there anyone out there willing to take on this duty - it takes about an hour or so a month to compile - as I feel that I've done my stint (geddit) over the last few years. Obviously it would be quite a shame if one of the premiere bird-watching counties in the UK reverted back to being unrepresented.....so come on you Kent birders, the plate is waiting to be stepped up to!!
Rgds.... Ray
