That woman cost me a few birds though - Kildeer and Chestnut-sided Warbler...ouch.Otherwise I guess the most irresponsible things I've done are those involving birding alone in remote places where if something happened (eg broken ankle) you would be screwed. Oh, and as mentioned earlier - driving far too fast, we did Cambridge to John O'Groats in 8 hours for the Charter to see the North Ron Siberian Thrush.</blockquote>
