Alex is just back from a spell birding at the observatory and is using the technology, highlights were 10,000 Manx Shearwater, 2 Sooty Shearwater, 7 Balearic Shearwater, a Wryneck and a Melodious Warbler.

It took Alex a while for him to explain to us what 'YouTube' is......and it took us even longer to explain to him what a BOC reporting slip is......and we're not sure he's got his head around it even now.

Anyway, check out:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6D6Lr0Zi00&feature=feedu
