impossible for many, myself included to experience the real thing in the wild. Especially when you are unable to travel freely for a variety of reasons, ie health,wealth, age etc. In the foreseable future ignoring the aforementioned reasons will travel return to the old norm after the pandemic. Should we heed the warnings? Do I get the same enjoyment and satisfaction I did 50 years ago-probably not but I guess it keeps me alive and relatively active a little longer.


Why do we keep softbills and other types of birds? A question I have often asked myself-there will be no doubt a variety of reasons. Not for monetary gain that is for certain. For competition, showing, fame, recognition, gaining medals, publicity perhaps-we all have our reasons. Knowing you have contributed by reporting failures as well as successes is important.
