Hi Gregor,
You continue to make excellent progress, well done.
It really sounds like a ride which is great fun !! :t::t:
I was catching up on this thread yesterday evening and realised that having raised your A Levels and wished you well with them, at the beginning of the thread in June, I forgot to ask how the results went in August for you ? I hope well ?
.
Yesterday I decided that I would create my world life list on Bubo ( under my maiden name of Rushton) , which is not something I have ever done before. I think that it will be a long work in progress, lol !!
As part of that I was inputting records from a birding day on May 14th 2014, in South - East Queensland, so not too far away from where you are now based. There were many smiles and happy memories. That date included O'reilly's , which you may recall that I previously recommended that you visit earlier in the year, so I am glad to see that you got there..
I was looking at the section of the Australian listers, to compare what Rob and I saw with what others have seen in the area I noticed that your records are featured there. It must take up a lot of your time, keeping this thread, your lists on Bubo and your blog. Where do you find the time ?
Do you also record your daily records in e-bird ( or bird track , before you emigrated? ).
I enjoy reading your blog and think that you have an engaging writing style. I also like to see the pictures that you post up there. What camera are you using for your shots? A lot of my bird shots end up far more blurred and distant than I would like them to be, so I am currently considering upgrading my kit and improving my skills before our next overseas trip.
Best wishes, Carol
