Well after many years away from serious birding, I have decided to come back to my favourite past-time. The reason for this happening was a visit to relatives in Portland, Dorset, where we stayed in the Portland Bird Observatory, a converted lighthouse ran by the BTO.
I couldn't help but get caught up in it all again, after watching Martin, the warden netting and ringing birds, and more importantly chatting with other birders, and getting right into it again.
I met the most fascinating guy whilst I was there called Peter Baker,who writes a daily blog called Bagsy-The Captains Log. It makes fascinating reading, as it charts his travels around not only Dorset, but the rest of the world too, in search of fine wine, fine food and fine birding.
I have been writing an occasional blog called Jacks Life, where I have recorded birding trips recently, but will now use this for all birding thoughts.
