That's me up to date, not a lot of birding done really, my mind has been on other things such as the odd fishing match and a fair bit of cycling but I will always be out somewhere birding.  You can always follow me on Twitter, god I never thought I would write that in here, I'm a changed man. look for Alrewas Birder.
