Reflections..

We spent what seemed like most of the day at the Botanics. There was a woman from the RSPB there, so the kids got to make bird feeders, look through binoculars for birds (we missed out on seeing a kingfisher, twice) and check off birds on checklists while wandering the grounds.
I'm sure they would've spotted more, had it not been for the fact that every time they saw one, they came screaming over to tell us.

Chris Packham and Bill Oddie - you're jobs are safe for now.
