I'll just add one.... I stayed at Bird Observatories in UK - a good way to see birds and not see many other people. Skokholm, Dungeness, Sandwich Bay, Bradwell and Spurn.

in no particular order
1. bought a new pair of bins - old ones were useless
2. got a car - so i was able to travel
3. joined birdforum. don't think i could live without the internet these days.
4. rejoined rspb
5. got a scope - able to id more things
6. subscribed to birdwatching and received collins guide for free - easier to id birds
7. scrubbed my old bike - so i can travel around locally
8. met sav - a great birding companion plus he's got superior hearing abilities
9. registered on birdtrack - adds substance to my sightings
10. got a camera - improves fieldcraft and gives a fresh perspective on things
