Happy Christmas - One and All!

Tessa Dunlop and The Urban Birder at BBC Radio London
First thing first. Merry Christmas all. I hope that it was a day of love and peace. A tall order for some I know.

I spent the early hours of the day at The Scrubs with stalwart birder, Roy Nuttall, in the vain hope of discovering something amazing. Aside from nearly 400 Black-headed Gulls there was little else. We met with a non-birder mate of his who quickly produced a little nap sack with a flask of mulled wine and some mince pies. So there we were sitting on a bench watching the world go by tucking into typical Christmas fayre!

Amongst the usual skin care products that I had for Christmas I also received a brilliant gift. An original artwork of a male Ring Ouzel by the bird artist Jan Wilzcur. 

Oh and on the eve before Christmas Eve I was invited down to Radio London to be on Tessa Dunlop's evening talk show. Ostensibly I was booked to chat about urban birds between 11pm til midnight. I ended up being involved in deep conversations with callers on subjects as diverse as religion, homosexuality, race and a Northern Cardinals!

Such is the life of an Urban Birder!

If fake Cartier the original Eterna Super KonTiki was good enough for Nazi-hunting IDF commandos, the re-issue is probably good enough for the West Hollywood fake IWC Gelson’s in the midst of a pandemic, right?
What Bilal is watching: Better Call Saul is replica watches one of the most under-appreciated shows, period. Spinoffs get a bad rap, but I largely prefer it to the original in almost every replica watches uk way. The whole cast is incredible, but the character of Chuck McGill (played by Michael McKean) is absolutely brilliantly fake rolex written and a truly poignant performance. Even bunkered down during a pandemic, I will watch The Walking Dead as long as it airs, and the show replica rolex has dramatically improved with Angela Kang at the helm. There’s also a new season of Ugly Delicious on Netflix, which really rolex replica benefits from David Chang being as good a TV host as he is a chef/restaurateur. Some fake Breitling stuff on the re-watch list: Zodiac, Snowpiercer, King of the Hill (the first seven seasons before Mike Judge and Greg fake Omega Daniels bounced).
