Hi from Newport, South Wales.
I regard myself as an amateur, fine-weather bird watcher!
I am a mum of 7 children and several whippets so my birdwatching time is often on the riverside walk to the school and back and when walking the dogs. I am also a keen birdspotter along the verges of motorways as I drive along! My mistake is never having a pair of binoculars on me when I need them so I must try to get a bigger handbag to fit some in! lol.
What brought me to this forum wass seeing my first reed bunting this morning. I have often heard them along the river but they are always hidden. Today one was on full view so I stood behind some tall plants to watch for a couple of minutes. I didn't recognise it so I observed as many details about the bird as I could and then rifled through the books when I got home. Again, I had no binoculars on me! There are so many birds along the school run walk that I am going to remember to take them tomorrow and USE them.
