Wink Jack from London, UK

Hello,

My names Jack, im 25 and work for the NHS. I work shifts and this gives me a lot of time to persue conservation dreams and go out birding. Except I have been finding birding very tough in London, having lived in Essex previously near the Suffolk border I was spoilt for choice! If anybody reads this and 'birds' in London and fancies a companion every now and then by all means message me, as very few of my friends have similar interests (I dont mean to sound too desperate there!)

I am also over the next year launching a small (3 weeks a year) business in Normandy for people interested in Nature and wildlife. Situated on an old farm cottage that will have a garden that is planted to attract as many native species as possible. i plan to run a B&B style house with organised birding & fishing tours but if you want to no more about that here is the link (any feedback would be appreciated as im definately jumping into the unknown!)

http://www.birdforum.net/showthread....ferrerid=95257

Hope you all have a nice weekend and find some good birds!

Jack

Hi Jack,

I know Richard Bonser (similar age to you) lives and birds in London- you should be able to find him pretty quickly with a search on here, or look on this thread: http://www.birdforum.net/showthread.php?t=221011.

Send him a PM and I'm sure he'll be glad of someone to bird with.

ATB,

D
