August 2007, British Birdwatching Fair again

Back on the Tropical Birding stand again, but this time we had a plan! Our idea for a birding year now had a name: The Biggest Twitch. And somehow (where did that come from?) we had a target too: to set a new world record for the number of bird species seen in a single calendar year. There’s no better place to sound out a birding idea than Birdfair. The feedback was unanimous: you lucky *******, go for it!
