We welcome the Considerate Birders to Birder's Twitter and it's majestic! Listen again here:

Hep (yellow hat) and Abi (white hat) - The Considerate Birders

We talk birds and birding with our new faves. Jonny R has called in The Considerate Birders for an intervention - because of how inconsiderate Jonny H and DDL have been across 4 seasons and over seventy episodes.

We all agree that Red-breasted Geese are the best and talk about it in depth.

The Considerate Birders tell us how good Alpine Swifts are - which Jonny R knows nothing about. It turns out friend of the show Rob Hunton is also friends with the Considerate Birders!

Jonny H and DDL get told off for inconsiderate polls on Twitter - which Jonny R thoroughly enjoys.

For some reason we talk about the Brown Shrike on Jonny H's patch:

We wish The Considerate Birders well with their quest to 300 and only Jonny can remember his 300th species; Wryneck at Granborough Hill on 23rd August 2011:

Jonny R and Mal - looking majestic at the moment Jonny R ascended to 300 UK lifers. Everyone is so impressed.

We talk 300th species - Jonny H and DDL cannot remember back to their 300th which was back in the early 1960's:

Jonny H is all twitchy whilst Jonny R is all refined and does a walk with Amy and Raven and sees an Otter like a refined, gentleman naturalist:

Everyone agrees that Jonny R's Golden Pheasant/ x Lady Amherst's are totally tickable:
