Title: Bird Watching Post by: Ralphy on Wednesday, February 16, 2011, 14:06:00 Over the past 2 days my quiet town has become over run with folk queuing to get a glimpse of the apparently very rare Oriental Turtle Dove. One has took up residence in some guys garden and he's charging every person £5 to come in his kitchen and have a look !!!

Interesting. I saw a dodo outside my flat. Title: Re: Bird Watching Post by: Ginginho on Wednesday, February 16, 2011, 14:09:25 Pfft, that's a pigeon!
I might try that, I get loads of pigeons in my garden! :) Title: Re: Bird Watching Post by: Ralphy on Wednesday, February 16, 2011, 14:11:51 I have a plan of action to get rich quick.
How much do Parrots cost by the way ? Title: Re: Bird Watching Post by: Ginginho on Wednesday, February 16, 2011, 14:14:05 Not much, I heard they're going cheep!
Title: Re: Bird Watching Post by: london_red on Wednesday, February 16, 2011, 14:15:19 Don't think it's the homeowner who's charging, it's the RSPB.
Title: Re: Bird Watching Post by: Nick Bamosomi on Wednesday, February 16, 2011, 14:16:42 At £5 per person, he could make a right little nest egg

Title: Re: Bird Watching Post by: Foggy on Wednesday, February 16, 2011, 14:31:50 Nope
Title: Re: Bird Watching Post by: sonicyouth on Wednesday, February 16, 2011, 14:33:02 Don't think it's the homeowner who's charging, it's the RSPB. I doubt it, RSPB reserves are all free entry...Title: Re: Bird Watching Post by: london_red on Wednesday, February 16, 2011, 14:41:00 Ah yes, I misread the article sorry. It is the guy who's charging but he's giving the proceeds to bird charities (or so he says).
