Tuesday
2nd August
Thanks to everyone who sent Get Well Soon messages.
Appreciated. Feeling a bit better and I cycled to Alford yesterday so
back on the road again. Hopefully I will see the American
white-winged scoter today near Aberdeen.
Meanwhile I want to say a massive thank you to everyone
who has either donated using the Justgiving links, given me money by
stopping me on my travels and feeding Ricky the Robin on the bike or
by saying that they would sponsor me so much a bird and pay at the
end of the year when my final Green Bird list is published. Hopefully
that will be more than the 300, maybe even higher than the 305 to
break the European record.
The most recent person to email me with an offer of
sponsorship is Michael Davis. Thanks Michael.
Today Ricky the Robin (the donation boxes on the bike)
have been emptied and the money shared between the four charities I
am supporting. When people do give money as I travel I try to write
their names on my notebook and so . . .
Ricky
the Robin emptying time. Many thanks to Yvonne, Jocyln (Smugglers
YH), Duncan and Tricia, Jasper, Donna, Susan, John, Clare &
Eleanor, Ryan & Vicky, Henry, Jules, Moira & Ron, Jane &
Lynda. xx
Some of the donations were of things, like cereal bars, given to me. My attitude is that if someone gives me something then that is a donation.
By the way, I am paying for every aspect of my trip. No one gives me any money to do this. Just thought I would say as some people do ask.
I really do
appreciate all of the donations and believe in the work of the RSPB,
the WWT, Asthma UK and Chaskawasi-Manu.
If you can sponsor
me 1p a bird then please either message me on here or on my facebook
page
or email me at

So August the
second, memories of 1980 and a wedding. Long time ago.
A final thought . .
. it's fabulous when a birding family gets in touch to tell of their
birding. Thanks Jamie. Go for it Max and Oscar.
