New Look and British Birdfair!

-
Following on from the Drunkbirder and the Leicester Llama I have changed the format and the design of the blog.
What do people think of it and hope you like it?
Also over the weekend I will be at the British Birdfair at Rutland Water, so come along and say hello to me and the Drunkbirder as we will be manning the LROS stand in marquee 2 on Saturday afternoon?

Hi Dave,

Like the look of the blog. Feels back to front but maybe that is my artist brain!
Thanks for your comment re my Barn Owl painting. They have to be one of my favourite subjects. I was in Botswana in July and saw some wonderful Pearl Spotted Owlets and the huge Verreaux's Eagle Owl......what is the difference between an Owlet and Owl?? The Pearl Spotted was adorable.

So over the next half an hour we ticked off all the salient features of the bird and then phoned out the news. As this was probably only the sixth record for Leicestershire and Rutland as you can imagine I took quite a few digishots of the gull. Joined later by the Groby crew (Allen, Andy F and Paul) just before the Ring-billed Gull flew off towards the tip, it wasn't long before the group picked at least 3 Yellow-legged Gulls and 3 Caspian Gulls (2 Adults and 1 2nd-winter bird) in the large gull flock. So to put this sighting of the Ring-billed Gull in context, it's probably only the sixth time it has been recorded in the county.It was a county tick for myself, Neil and the Groby crew and Ring-billed G...
