One for Euan!

BBC2 - Sunday 26th Sept 11.40am

The PR stuff says it is a practical guide to watching and learning about birds, aimed both at beginners and at people wanting to learn more.

Oh great. Someone at the BBC schedulers has got it very wrong, on at the same time as Countryfile.

Oops. No they haven't. Just remembered there isn't going to be a Countryfile next Sunday, because of the Great North Run.

I imagine this programme is going to be a repeat - I would think that anything new with Bill Oddie in would go out in the evening. Whatever it is, it will be very welcome.

It doesn't say this is a repeat on the BBC website:

Wild
Sun 26 Sep, 11:40 am - 12:10 pm 30mins

Birding With Bill Oddie. Shetland:

This series is a practical guide to watching and learning about birds, aimed both at beginners and at people who want to learn more.

A trip to Shetland is every birder's dream. In June, the sun never seems to set, and Bill strides out in search of rare breeding birds, scarce migrants, and spectacular cliffs cluttered with tens of thousands of noisy seabirds.

I've actually been birding with Bill at Strumpshaw! He's a really nice bloke!
Anyone else shared a scope with WEO?

Seems like ages ago. Wasn't this the one where he describes stormies as sounding like fairies being sick?

Well currently online are 77 members and 227 guests. OK, a lot of the guests are always search engine spiders, but even so... Anyway, he could even be contributing under a nomme de guerre, though I'd be surprised.

Don't give up hope!!!

Our tennis stars are getting stuffed by that 'great' tennis nation Austria.

With a bit of luck they won't have any tennis to show and Bill Oddie will be reinstated.

We can only hope....

You can complain here:www.bbc.co.uk/info/contactus/form.shtml

They insist on being given a postcode and phone number (they are apparently unaware of the Data Protection Act, which requires that data is only collected when there is a genuine need for it); so I gave them their own!
