Started my bird lists on 1.1.1987 - but carried forward a Buff-breasted Sandpiper from 1986. Most birding is within a short drive of Portishead these days; although the south coast beckons occasionally now petrol is a bit cheaper.
Prefer to spend time on Walton Common during the summer (Butterflies and Plants) where I am volunteer warden for this Avon Wildlife Trust reserve.
