We want to hear from

Following the recent Llamas reunion, I had a trawl through the old site (I’ve still got its final incarnation on my computer) and thought I’d update one of the old features. I think the idea was nicked from some football magazine in the first place, so this is a re-hash of an idea we nicked from someone else. Nothing new under the sun, as they say.

We want to hear from:

• Garry Bagnell’s geography teacher – Ofsted want a word with you.
• The birder who thought that reporting a ‘heard only’ Honey Buzzard in Worcestershire the other day would in some way enhance their reputation.
• Anyone who’s actually paid money to join the British Birding Association.
• Anyone who voted for the so-called President of the aforesaid organisation.
• The other Presidential candidates.
• Anyone who knows the true identity of ‘Mr White’.
• Someone who can tell us what ‘skor’ means.
• The birding advisers for Bill Bailey’s Big Birdwatch – Tim Appleton wants a word with you.
  

We don’t want to hear from:

• Anyone who has anything more to say about House Finch moult.
• Anyone who gets excited by putative 1st-winter Thayer’s Gulls, or indeed 1st-winters of any large gull. It’s just not right.
• The October 2009 ‘Shetland Stringer’ – fucking hell, I hope he’s not going again this year!

And we still haven’t heard from:

• Anyone who actually witnessed L.Y.R.E. ticking the Pacific Swift at Cley.
