Am I jealous? Yes! ENORMOUSLY!!!!
Just read this on BirdForum, and this is a near-perfect description of my ultimate non-owl experience! Bloke called Duck_Pond goes to Snettisham and, well................. what a lucky swine he is!

Leaving the hide, I opted not to go to the other hide, but to try to get better pics of the skylarks. Whilst doing so, I spotted a TV crew wandering back from the hide I'd not visited, and I thought to myself "Ha, probably Bill Oddie!".
I followed the crew alongside this extra lake along where the path should have been, and crossed where they did. It was still almost over my wellies! I noticed 3 of the crew had stopped, so as I walked up, I got ready to say "Hello" and that was when Bill Oddie turned around! I could have died laughing, but I remained calm and simply said "Morning" to him, as I would to anyone else. He wears a woolly hat pulled up to a peak - I reckon to make himself look taller
Oddie - you're on the wrong side of the Wash!!!!!!!! Freiston's where it's at!!!!!!!
