Birders come at all levels. Some just watch garden birds from their kitchen window. I bet there are a fair few people on this site who call themselves bird watchers who would have learnt a thing or two about Red Kites, Barnacle Geese, ringing, keeping notes etc. And for the rest of us, well I was more than happy with spectaular footage of Oystercatchers, Geese and kites. Even I didn't know that there was a kite feeding station in that area until last night, so I learnt something.It was refreshing to see birdwatching shown in that kind of light hearted yet informative way, and in my opinion is much more likely to win over non birders than the usual dull, lecturing type of wildlife program. I thought the new Bill was very good, and clearly knew what he was taking about.I'll definately be watching again next week.</blockquote>
