I think I may eventually start a second page/blog which will serve precisely that purpose to reserve Belltowerbirding for my writing.<br />We'll see.<br /><br />Dale, yes, I was also fascinated by the Terminator movies for that reason. Dang, I never realized you were in Frankfurt (to the North). This is why I sent the bird to the South-East, towards Austria! We MUST communicate our travels more thoroughly, I tell you, there's room for improvement!Jochenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10852825311605464857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647395313001100441.post-12086771955037377782009-05-04T15:50:00.000+02:002009-05-04T15:50:00.000+02:00there is never an excuse to not have a camera and ...there is never an excuse to not have a camera and a pair of binoculars with you. I am investigating getting the latest nikon camera surgically implanted in to the side of my skull, with a Swaro El32 in my left hand.<br /><br />I will be in Frankfurt for the night this Sunday. Any chance you could convince it to fly a little further north and then to hang around my hotel for a bit? I can send the address/google map if needs be.<br /><br />Happy birding<br />Dale<br /><A>http://alpinebirds.blogspot.com</A>Dale Forbeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17898040644854359126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647395313001100441.post-37825354630263613012009-05-01T03:02:00.000+02:002009-05-01T03:02:00.000+02:00Posting a link to the local listserv is a pretty s...Posting a link to the local listserv is a pretty sure-fire way to get traffic as long as it's not done too often.

And you see, exactly one week before the Long-legged, I spotted a dark-morph Booted Eagle at almost exactly the same spot. Now how cool's that."<br /><br />"Sounds really cool, Jochen."<br /><br />"Well no, it isn't. I mean, I surely and certainly did see a Booted, but in that particular case, I did not have a camera with me."<br /><br />"That was very stupid, Jochen.
