What the heck am I doing here?!

Do you ever have those moments when your brain takes an involuntary step back from what you’re doing and goes “What the heck am I doing here?!”?

Wading through a weedy pumpkin field somewhere in Central Morocco, stirring up clouds of Crimson-speckled Flunkey moths and hoping with each step that our feet would dislodge an Andalusian Hemipode, we were having such a moment! (More on this later, stay tuned…)

Hard to imagine at this point that less than a week ago we were leaving Birdfair with stonking hangovers!

We were very humbled by the warm reception we got at Birdfair to our ideas, our fresh approach to ‘chilled-out’ birding tours, and our company ethos of friendliness and inclusivity. 

We had lots of useful chats with friends old and new – keep an eye on our website for some exciting new collaborations on the way…

High points for us included meeting Henry the Hen Harrier, accidentally stealing some chips, sharing an Osprey moment with Simon King and a ma-HOOS-ive group hug with Mark Avery.

Did you spot us? Drop us a tweet if you did! Hopefully it wasn’t while we were throwing shapes at the nightclub with the Next Generation Birders…

Next year we plan to be back with a stand – ideas still being booted around for that but whatever it is it won’t be dull… And hopefully if you visit you won’t end up thinking “What the heck am I doing here?!”
