As you know, the birding really is great here, especially for those of us from the other side of the world! <br />I do know Derrick but only via his postings and reputation.

Have been over to BC and the Island several times - we have a timeshare at Pacific Shores Nature Resort in Parksville. Took in Clover Pt in our last visit a couple of yrs ago and got Rhinocerous Auklet, which was on my wanted list. Prev visit I met up with an ex pat Brit called Derrick Marven who at the time lived in Duncan - do you know him? P'hpas will contact you when we next come over .... Good birding!John Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07258466396890691818noreply@blogger.com
