Well at least I saw another Pitta- All 33 now UTB!
On Sunday 5th May members of the Oriental Bird club will be raising money for the Spoon-billed Sandpiper conservation breeding program. You too can help.
I personally will be cycling from the flagship reserve of Welney (WWT), Cambridgeshire to Salthouse in Norfolk. Not far for an experienced cyclist but I am a 50+ and mostly office bound and this is a daunting undertaking! Meanwhile John Gregory and Gregor Tubb (one of OBC youngest members) along with many others will be running the full length of the Norfolk coastal path a total distance of 37 miles.
These journeys however pale into insignificance compared to the one made by the critically endangered Spoon billed Sandpiper. The 8000km migration it undertakes is fraught with dangers and human pressures have taken their toll! So please help us raise funds for this important project.

Many thanks and please dig deep- I may only be able to do this once!
