Hello Fellow Birders! (1 Viewer)

[DickM]

I am a long time (nearly 30 years) occasional birder, and my time spent birding has gone down rather than up since I retired!

I think the problem is that when you work 5 days a week, you are much better at planning and making the most of your weekends. Without the pressure of work, it's easy to say, "I can't be bothered today. Maybe tomorrow." At least that's how it is with me, and I'm hoping that joining this forum and sharing the occasional post, I might be inspired to get back into action on a more regular basis.

Looking forward to sharing a few stories with some of you.

Dick

Hi Dick, I retired a couple of years ago, and I know what you are saying about getting plans made... there is very little urgency, and you can put things off until a nicer day.
Hopefully you will soon come to manage the competition between your desire to do things and the lack of urgency to do them.
