So I was a bit spoiled early on. Obviously they've got a lot rarer since then! Can't see them suddenly becoming regular again though, sadly...

We were in Cedar Cottage, right by the campsite entrance. On one occasion I had crippling views of the Red-eyed Vireo, about 15ft away in the garden holly tree. And of Martin Clunes by the football pitch, from our living room window.

I remember lots of garbled CB noise too. And yes, it showed a lot better in Standing Stones Field the next day. Weird thing is, I was camping up the Garrison throughout (probably near The Boiler's tent, I remember his thunderous snores from most times I've camped up there...) so I must have at least seen you a few times?
