Avez-Vous un Cuppa?

Over the last weekend I spent a couple of days at the British Birdfair and was great to meet and greet so many people around the fair. Just to name a few included David Lindo, Alan Davies and Ruth Millar, Tristan Reid,Tom McKinney, Mike Weedon, Dag and the Birdnet Team and Dave Cohen and Pete Asher (my mentors from my old YOC days). As usual with the Birdfair I spent a bit of money and bought myself a new head for my Manfrotto tripod. So now my tripod has got a Gitzo head on it!?! photo courtesy of the Drunkbirder aka John Hague!

Alex Horne enteraining the Birdfair crowd (thanks John for the photo!) Myself, John and my Dad visited the British Birdfair yesterday at Rutland Water, and for once it was an enjoyable experience. Highlights of the day included meeting comedian Alex Horne ( who was doing a shorten version of his excellent live show on Birdwatching Watching),chatting to BBC "One Show" David Lindo about Urban Birding, collecting the new Leicestershire and Rutland Bird Avifauna and Bird report from the LROS stand, playing football with the ORCA team(Whale Madrid) and meeting new and old friends at the social birding event of the year. My Dad was also happy because he spent loads of money on a new camera (Canon D5) and got a good deal, £400 off the usual price!!
