Well after nearly a week back in North Wales and finding all sorts of things to stop us starting we have finally put fingers to keyboard and begun writing the epic story of The Biggest Twitch. Now the trick is to keep going and have the book out as early as possible while people still remember us! It has been great fun for us looking at the notebooks for those last few days of 2007 when we set off to Arizona, USA, and prepared for a year of non-stop birding. If only we had known then what we know now, no doubt we would have turned round and fled back home! We were pretty naive in hindsight, especially when it came to the budget, how did we ever think we could do it with so little cash in the bank. Luckily we did not know the things we know now and had THE most amazing year of our lives as a result so there you have it - ignorance can indeed be bliss. That first day of The Biggest Twitch seems like a life time ago now, we have seen and done so much since then. Locally, here in North Wales, a Grey Phalarope was found at Cricceth, on the Lleyn Peninsula, and the same location held a Black Redstart and a Little Gull; great birding, sadly we did not get down to see them. But if the phalarope sticks around we will be very tempted to abandon the book and have a quick twitch.Llandudno 12 January
