The Lincolnshire Bird Club

It's now a week since my return from the depths of Norfolk (will do report later) and having not been on a computer for two weeks decided yesterday to have a peep. 52 emails awaited and guess what those kind wildlife people from Birdforum and Wildlife In Britain sent me their best wishes, unlike the two Lincs bird forums I belong

Too late now, try and remember next year, if I'm still here .

Yes I did have a crackin birthday ta, spent the evening sat on Blakeney Point pebbles eating fish cakes, chips and mushy peas watching the Sunset.

Max,
Having celebrated my 80th birthday in March, I know that birthdays for us Saga wrinklies are extra special occasions - after all, we may well be running out of them. On the other hand, it can also be said that for everyone, of whatever age, a birthday is a notable event. LBC has hundreds of members and an expensive birthday computer-generated programme would have to be installed to ensure no-one's birthday goes unannounced. Then again, who wants to see birthdays being highlighted on the LBC web almost on a daily basis? (Yawn).

As far as LBC friends remembering the birthdays of LBC friends, we are all fallible - even to the point of occasionally forgetting to note our own distant family members' birthdays, let alone those of web friends.

I would suggest that the happy medium and the most comforting thought is for it to be understood that our web colleagues' wishes towards us are a constant factor 365 days a year including on our birthday and at Christmas. Formal announcement then becomes superfluous.

Best wishes,

Freddy
PS............I trust your Norfolk trip lived up to expectations. I look forward to seeing any details in due course.

John..the little owl i told you about was a juv..GPC said it would of been & it was..
I will tell all the story..basically two juv kestrels were sharing same tree as little owl..a few of these fellas about..anyway..my buddy was watching kezzies while waiting for owl to appear & parent kestrel came crashing through tree with a little owl for supper..thought it was adult owl because of the way it was making its way through branches..seemed to be struggling with the weight..but saw adult yesterday..phew..of all the birds on the menu & he chooses owl..but food is food!

Freddy,
