As a very short distance migrant with limited distibution, I'm going to be hard to add. CJW was lucky that he caught my ship assisted passage following a small reverse migration

You're one of the easiest to get Jane - on the mainland, sociable and fairly sedentary.Jane Turner said:
I'm the difficult one to catch up with, as I hardly ever leave the island and am a solitary species not prone to mingling with others (so the Oop North Bash is probably the only chance people will get).

Andrew,
Full marks for remembering our short meeting. It really is about time you learned how to spell Stephen though!
Regards,
Stephen.

My old jalopy is about up for renewal so I might get around a bit more when I get a newer one, otherwise I do most of my birding within a few miles of home nowadays.
As there's seldom anything around here worth travelling to see it makes me a bit of a 'blocker' as well!

Having known me for some time Jane will have seen me in varying plumages from juvenile to very juvenile! And now that I am a father - post-breeding/permanently knackered!
Surely those members who don't post should be worth more? Are they the silent majority....? I know of a few, but can not name them because they probably want to remain anonymous voyeurs.
Finally, how come some of you are on this forum in the early hours on a spring morning (presuming it is spring where you are) and not in the field - I have an excuse - I log in in work time when I wish I was birding!
Finally, finally CJW - how do I change my log in name - a little boring isn't it - presuming that is my name, maybe I'm masquerading? Having said that I would surely have chosen a less boring log in to masquerade as!

Steve, send me a PM with what you want to change it to and I'll pass it on to Admin. to do the necessary. Or alternatively you could just contact Admin. direct.

I went to Cork in August and was told by a birder at Ballycotton that locating a Harry Hussey should be a piece of cake especially at Galley Head. Staying nearby I went every morning & not once did I manage to connect with a Hussey.
That's seawatching for you!

You can't count Irish sightings on your official UK list any more!
They'll have to go into category E9 or something!

Being from across "the pond" I have only one "tick", (Grousemore). It is one that I shall long remember. I have not "bumped into" any of the US species yet!
Hi Jane,
I wouldn't do too well if I were to make a list of BF members: only seen 6 at most!
Another way to 'tick' me is to come over here for an Irish mega:I shouldn't be too far away(unless I've seen the species)...!
Harry
No need,you could just ask me for my mobile number like Tom should have done(after all,he HAD been in touch with me via e-mail before he came over,and neglected to make arrangements to meet).Jane Turner said:
