It's on Sky 3-   I finally get to see this vaunted disaster:)

It looks truly dreadful-

Mrs Seymouraves says let me take them ALL on simultaneously :)

    The other day I noticed that it was on Sky 3 but then it had finished by the time TV was on so I gave up...

    I did see the oystercatcher episone on YouTube, it's so silly and dreadful that I had an unstoppable hysterical laughter... lol I don't disagree with combining birding with fun but in this case, the idea of 'fun' completely crashed with birding...

    Hi-

    its painful to watch-  I feel sorry for Bill B,

    Raptor species count????  I see more driving from Kings Lynn to Titchwell.

    Geese count?? 10 minutes at Holkham would get a bigger list!

    Why oh why did they only get ringed plovers? A visit to snettisham at low tide, I got a dozen of waders!!

    WHO PRODUCES THIS UNRELIABLE STUFF???

    THe bird ' identified' on a digi photo as a Golden plover was a GREY PLOVER-  Mrs Seymour ( known for enthusiasm not relaible ID)  got it right and the 'redshank'  actually looked more like a Dunlin!

    Words fail me- as DIM Wallace once said :)

    Mrs S suggested a handicap system :)

    I'll take them on without binoculars - anybody want to join me?

    LOL
