I've been birding since I was 14 thats 34 yrs in total and am now looking forward to hitting my target of 500 BOU by 50 hopefully in 2008. Based in Lincs through all that time apart from 6 years Uni in London. Managed to stay married with 3 children all over 18 despite a fair amount of twitching from 1987 onwards. I've travelled a reasonable amount in the western pal and having got a conscience about carbon output I'm now focusing on my UK green list. Haven't actually got out of Lincs on foot or by bike yet though!
