I have Friday as the date of my last possible Big Birdwatching Trip before my surgery next Wednesday.

If you register for their newsletter on the BirdGuides website you can see from their constantly updated map what is about all over the country. (http://www.birdguides.com) Then click on log in and then register. The map is free as long as you take their newsletter but some of their other services have a subscription associated with them. It is a handy tool

Your trouble will be that the wind is changing direction and that the weather is awful at present. It could mean the end of the really good birding

Hope that helps and best wishes for your op

Go and see the Green Heron, I got down there purely by public transport. There are about 8 trains a day from LCN (Lincoln) to WHA (Westenhanger). Book in adavance, It only costs £50.
