Sincere apologies Vern it was a combination of your youthful enthusiam, photographic skills and username plus the number of younger members depicted in the 'workparty' photos' posted that led me to the wrong assumption. If it's any consilation my son is a piece older than you but I still consider him my 'little lad'. The point I was trying to make was the spectrum of ages and contributions by the 'Upton' Crew for the common good is something ALL the Wildlife Trusts/ Voluntary Organisations should aspire to.
Then in later years us 'wrinklies and less abled bodied', with reasonable site access, could still contibute by way of recording and alerting others to decent birds 'dropping in' making the 'workers' efforts more fulfilling and site records more comprehensive. (although I would assume not much gets missed at Upton).

[QUOTE="Papa 10, post: 3051662, member: 19529"] Sincere apologies Vern it was a combination of your youthful enthusiam, photographic skills and username plus the number of younger members depicted in the 'workparty' photos' posted that led me to the wrong assumption. If it's any consilation my son is a piece older than you but I still consider him my 'little lad'. ;) The point I was trying to make was the spectrum of ages and contributions by the 'Upton' Crew for the common good is something ALL the Wildlife Trusts/ Voluntary Organisations should aspire to. Then in later years us 'wrinklies and less abled bodied', with reasonable site access, could still contibute by way of recording and alerting others to decent birds 'dropping in' making the 'workers' efforts more fulfilling and site records more comprehensive.
