                             500

At long last the Rufus Turtle Dove (orientalis) in Chipping Norton is after all these years the big 500.

I've remained true to the official BOU UK ONLY list throughout not even taking the so called armchair splits I'm supposed to have seen.

So with them and being true to myself the list is 517. I now feel this is now the time to retire from full on twitching to a more leisurely

approach giving me more time for the trips , the Bird Club and Ava & Harry. Thanks for the laughs the tears and all those memories.

Yes and I still rank the fantastic Black & White Warbler as the star of the 500.

 excellent footballer and keen sportsman. Fred and his wife Linda are

 keen birders supporting most of the trips . His super eyesight is our biggest

 asset on field trips and holidays.

   job as an surveyor and being kept in the manner he has become accustomed

  by his wife Sue. Brian's superb pictures feature throughout this site. He is great

company   on any trip making sure everybody is OK . I'm sure someday soon Brian's

 pictures will be published in one of the leading mag's.

 

 

 

 

                                                   Charlie ( The Titchwell Toff ) Dobbs.

 Londoner , worked as an engineer for Ford @ Dagenham . Decided that travelling to Norfolk

every weekend  for 25+ years became a waste of birding time so he moved there. Charlie is

committed to his passion and has become one of the most talented birders in Norfolk . He

has an amazing memory for bird calls .
