Quick update from the BirdFair
Having a great time here at Rutland Water, where we're catching up with lots of old friends and making new ones in the birding community. There's a lot of interest in The Biggest Twitch already, and maybe even more after we've given our talk tomorrow morning. Just how do you summarise 8 months, 18 countries and nearly 3000 birds in half an hour!Having met up with the guys at Tropical Birding and spoken to our friend Peter Lobo from India, we now feel a bit more confident about the rest of the year as their offers of help and boundless enthusiasm for the project have really lifted our spirits. The world record of 3662 may well be back in our sights again.Posted 15th July, Oakham, UK
