Hi
Andy Chick shamed me into joining LBC during a Wash Cruise during the summer, so here I am.
I have been at this game for about 18 months now, after a holiday in Budle Bay, Northumbria (you can't ignore them when your garden is full of wheatears), although I have had a passing interest for the past 30 years or so gained whilst fishing. But with two children under 4 years it is a bit difficult to get out for a 24 hour fishing session so birding has sort of taken over, as it is something you can fit in for half an hour without having to upset family life. In fact I have foud that if you are awake then you are birding.
Due to family commitments I don't get out as much as I would like - early morning walk around Marston SW with the kids at weekends when they get up at silly o'clock (I didn't realise a pushchair made so much noise). Work has recently transfered me to Boston which is handy, so at lunchtimes rather than watching the red kites and buzzards around Colsterworth I can watch the marsh and hen harriers at Frampton Marsh. Its quite suprising how many species you can pick up in a daily ten minute visit, just as long as they make themselves obvious or I stumble across them.
What has amazed me is the learning curve, the more you see the more you learn and I am constantly learning.
Anyway it's lunchtime and I'm off for my 10 minute Frampton fix.
Love & Kisses
Mick
