I wonder if we can tie that into something to do with business. Work / Life balance perhaps (though that was the subject of this month's WCEB meeting)? I guess the birds constant battle for winter survival is a bit like our struggle to survive in a recession. There has to be a moral there somewhere. I like the idea of a bird walk down the estuary.

Ultimately though it's the content that matters... the theme is just window dressing -- but then I guess we all know how a killer window display can pull in the punters.... Hi David,

Ultimately though it’s the content that matters… the theme is just window dressing — but then I guess we all know how a killer window display can pull in the punters….

Also have www.irelandsnature.com. What I don't have is time to anything with them at the moment.

Lovely bird. But the highlight at this time of year has to be the three way pitched battle between the goldfinches, greenfinches and great tits at the garden feeders. No sign of the redwings and fieldfares yet this year... must be a good berry crop keeping them in Scandinavia. A great idea for a site... look forward to seeing it in action, and to reading the blog as it evolves. I've been a keen birdwatcher since I was about ten... and while, like you I don't get out in the field as much as I'd like, I'm just as happy mooching about in the garden amidst the robins, blue tits and goldcrests. Hey, if the weather's up to it early next year why don't we take the SOHO Solo West Cork crown on a birdwalk down the estuary to Rosscarbery pier... certainly better than being cooped up in the hotel.
