Go Birding TV programme on BBC Two with Tony Soper. Includes birders at the Wood Thrush on the Isles of Scilly on 7th October 1987 and an interview with Peter Grant about Twitching.
Fascinating to hear Tony talk about how Ruddy Ducks are here to stay, but that ring- necked parakeets have a less certain future. What a difference 30 years makes!
Lovely film; thanks for uploading. Notice in the credits under 'Photograph'y: Chris Packham. We were to see a lot (too much?!) of him in years to come!
Great memories of watching this as a child 🙂 I am still birding 35 years later

Watched while packing for a birding trip, added a lot of enthusiasm for an early start.

No. Not too much. Just getting started.
A very young Chris Packham taking notes at 7:14
never thought he twitched
That's not Packham. He never saw the Wood Thrush.
Cooler Suumers eh?
