Hi all
I try to get away on foreign birding trips as much as possible - be it week trips within Europe and the Western Palearctic, or further afield. The main issue I have these days is my mates going at times I can't, as I'm a teacher and confined to school holidays.

Therefore if there's anyone else out there who is in the same predicament (presumably teachers), and is keen to do the odd foreign trip, then please get in touch. It's always good to have a pool of people who are in the same situation. I'm more than happy to do the logistics etc.

Cheers
Rich

I've often thought there should be a teacher's bird club: long holidays, but when no-one else wants to travel, and mid-week twitches during term time a no-no, unless do-able after work.

I'm rather tied up this year, but could be on for it in future years.

I'm guessing that English definitely isn't your subject!

I very nearly posted a similar remark, but decided it would be too unkind.

PS. My wife was an excellent teacher, but is still terrible at spelling.

You're right Richard, I was being too unkind! Given the way education is going these days, I ought to be nicer to those still at the 'whiteboardface'! I will consider myself duly reprimanded.

I once worked with an excellent Science teacher whose spelling was dreadful. I think I had to return something like 25 out of 30 reports she had written as she'd spelt so many words wrong. Mind you, my spelling - never as strong as I'd like - tended to go awry faced with 100 reports to write and a deadline to meet. Like WP I also find typos a nightmare.
