“Simon, just to say thank you for a very enjoyable weekend. The weather was not at all helpful, but we think you did really well in adapting our schedule to suit the circumstances.  We certainly visited a variety of sites and habitats… Overall we saw lots of birds (and wild boar), enjoyed some terrific views of hawfinch, bullfinch, cetti’s warbler, great grey shrike, grey wagtail, starlings etc. Thanks once again for all your efforts, and we look forward to our next trip together.” W.M. Medway, Mar 15 2018
