Hi Hassie, Newtownstewart is a lovely spot, friends of my wife are from just outside it. Winnipeg is just a little further away but nice to know that you still get back and that you still considere yourself from Norn Iron.hassie1 said:Hi there, Roger&out,
I'm originally from Newtownstewart (Co. Tyrone), not that far from you.
Mind you, I'm now resident in Winnipeg, out on the Canadian prairies, so I'm a fair way from NI but try and make it back as often as I can.
Cheers,
Hassie1
ampersand said:do post me roger. i will be visiting hungary over christmas and new year and am curious as to what i can expect to see (not the most ideal time of year to bird in hungary granted - and my time will be taken up with other activities also). i enjoyed reading threads by 'james' detailing his trip to hungary and his sightings of great bustard and many woodpeckers. i hope you got some good lifers on your list also!
