I do follow you on Twitter, (as Surrey Nature) and always look out for any of your tweets, be they on crossbill identification, your fallen eucalyptus tree or the ageing of the Brunnich's Guillemot. Keep them coming, they are some of the few sane examples of what passes for a tweet! Happy Hogmanay to you.Steve Galehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09459545933323958452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8802206289996500659.post-82790329598232215842013-12-30T22:38:02.427+00:002013-12-30T22:38:02.427+00:00Steve, I have enjoyed your blog immensely.

I tweet a bit (from just to the SW of you) and bird a bit more. My 'glory days' are behind me, and I'm slightly thankful. Your blog put a smile on my face every time I sought it out. So without a hint of sycophancy, I hope you keep your style in your 'new way of things'. Cheers mate and many thanks. All the very best for the New Year. martin @peediepuss unclefishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15585289006226561932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8802206289996500659.post-72000366500688799022013-12-30T20:34:42.682+00:002013-12-30T20:34:42.682+00:00And a good 2014 to you as well Paul.

On the subject of modern birding parlance (`booms and rare`s` and all that) another little gem to add to you glossary I`ve come across recently on the blogs (what with two mega Arctic seabirds present in the country) is, "tick and run". All the best for 2014. PaulPaul Troddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03532050770282573211noreply@blogger.com
