1. Watching Ian Wallace give a rip-roaring, emotional, once in a lifetime dramatic interpretation of his best ever day’s birding.

2. Saying thank you to Nick Baker for a video message he sent me from BirdFair 2013 when I was out in Borneo.

3. Catching up with the growing youth constituency at BirdFair and friends I only see once every few months.

4. Too. Many. New. Books.

5. Spending it with Megan Shersby, who is enjoying her first ever BirdFair and always makes sure I learn about insects and other things too, besides birds.
