Last diary from the UK
Not much time for writing the diary today, too busy packing and doing all those last-minute jobs that always get left to the last minute. The bags are now packed and waiting to go, just a case of setting the alarm for 4am and then we head off to the airport. Then it’s a day of travel before we finally arrive in Tucson, Arizona at 8.30pm local time.
We had more media exposure today with a radio interview on the BBC live from a very wet and windy RSPB Conwy, complete with a large flock of Lapwings overhead. We also made it into the national press today, with a mention in The Times no less.
