The Post
Our first Birdwatching Spectacular. We have successfully demonstrated one thing here: all of us have different birds in our backyards, and if we take our eyes away from our computer screens for a moment, we'll notice them. We have English birds, French birds, North American birds, South African birds. We have big birds, and little birds, and birds that like water, and birds that fly high… You're going to be amazed. And this is all on one planet!

"A collaborative guide, one that was written and kept up to date by the people who used it, in real time, might be a neat idea. I just didn't really realise that such a thing might be possible in my lifetime or how powerful such a thing might be."
