4th September

As the thread has been active for over a month and we've got 3 votes for 4th Sept shall we say that is the date to book for?

I'll get one of the MODs to add the date in to the thread title next week if no-one posts any objections.:t:

James,

i'll be up for the 27th Aug as well as a later date if you don't mind me tagging along.

Mark.

My seabird list is v. poor.

Just seen this Mark - of course, the more the merrier.

4/9 works for me

[James Thomas]

Like the last couple of years I'll probably do a couple of trips, will try and make sure I get on the meet trip, best of the meets this one.

 

[Hotspur]

I will also try to do the meet trip - not missing another good 'un like last year. Or the years before that...

 

[knocker7800]

its an affirmative for me too (4th sept), quells and an easy night before for me again.

any non manc shearwater for me would be great.

i'm also up for a second trip this season too if there are any takers, its always best to team up with someone with better eyesight than me.

There you go being modest again, I think your spotting skills are way above average

Will the 2012 calendar and YNU Report 2009 be available then Mike?

If they will be then you can put me down for one of each please.

The calendar will definitely be ready (just putting the finishing touches to it) & I think the YNU should be out slightly earlier than it was last year! Will let you know. I wouldn't be seen dead on the Skua Cruise on 18th of Sept, so that would be a no go for me, but 4th should be OK. Had amazing close views of Sooty Shearwater on the Skua Cruise on c19th Sep 2010.

"I wouldn't be seen dead on the Skua Cruise on 18th of Sept,"

Interesting, why not the 18th?

Don't really wanna be on a Skua cruise on my birthday!

Its ok - only shearwaters that day.

 

[BirdFlower]

Its ok - only shearwaters that day.

I should have said I don't want to be on a boat on that day!

 

[knocker7800]

Hangover? Or are you going to be partying hard.

 

[BirdFlower]

Hangover? Or are you going to be partying hard.

Nah, the sea isn't my favourite habitat for a birthday treat, would rather be in woodland photographing fungi, or summat!

 

[metcow333]

do these trips sell out or can i just rock up?

 

[northernloon]

Best to book in advance Ollie and take pot luck on the timing. They tend to fill up quickly. Standing room only for some last year.
