Re: First time birding

On this side of the pond people are more apt to say someone  is "a Brit'  these days rather than he (or she) is  English  - it's somewhat generational I guess.  Still today if someone enquires about my ethnicity I respond  with "English, German and Scotch-Irish" . But of course now it is
