Nobirds NO Conscience

Birders everywhere don’t be coy

You must not fall for the Nobirds ploy

For only £10 a member you can be

You will get lots for such a small fee

Information on birds, education and talks

Even specially produced bird reports

But beware dear birder it is all a trap

All you get fed is second hand crap

No AGM, Annual Reports or Accounts

Can you not just tell us what are the amounts

One hundred members, a thousand pounds a fair amount

No report for six years means about six grand in account

We know there are expenses and that is quite fine

But it doesn't cost much at all to run flapline

So come on Nobirds it is your duty

To let us know what you've done with the booty

We really don’t think it is at all funny

When we don’t know what you do with the money

Every birder who has made a donation

Has a right to be given an explanation

So Larry you need to be bold

And tell us all what you are doing with our fecking money

NIBirding Sunday 2nd March

The Great Northern Diver was still at Lough Fea, Dave and Orcilla Hadrick or as Nobirds called them yesterday Birdguides! Dave says Nobirds still owe him 40 notes.

They are so predictable straight round banging on the Red Crested Pochard, no mention its an escape, thats them educating us.

Ian Dickey has asked us to point out that the photo yesterday was not of him. He doesnt own a hat, he only wears turbans these days, more hygenic and doeasnt scare Cranes as much??!! Thanks to Ian for the photos of the Merg and Secret Squirreall and then some random seagull photos from Killybegs

NIBirding Saturday 1st March!

The male and female Surf Scoter were again off Newcastle harbour, Dave and Orcilla Hadrick. there name will magically change to Birdguides later on Nobirds, they sit at home and wait for people to find birds, Nobirds owe the Hadricks £40 and they also ask where all the money is.

Yesterday a male Velvet Scoter and 23 Long Tailed Duck were off Murlough.Ronald Surgenor.

The first day of spring, yeah right! Thanks to Christine Cassidy for todays first 3 photos and to who else Mr Maxwell for a photo of a very strange man and then 2 yes 2 different adult Iceland Gulls, sure where would you get the like of that!

Thanks to Ian Dickey for todays photos and also Mr Maxell

Radio Nibirding Request Show

Well, Northern Ireland people - it was all over the news today, we thought it was the finish of the whole thing. Everything gone kaput. back to the madness - everything going up the left again and direct rule making all the decisions. At least then there was certainty, not like it is at the moment. An imperfect peace is no way to live - dictated to by a group of people,disconnected from reality and with their own personal political aspirations, making decisions for us - whilst claiming to be like us? No surprises that there was no real truth to the threats that Larry McGarry was going to resign from the Nobirds committee.
It was just the usual posturing to cover up for ineptitude and subterfuge. Who do we trust? Not the nobirds but we're constantly told that there's nobody else! We'll just stick to this path until there's open warfare on the streets again as a result of a decision to accept a ship-assisted Shore Plover that was sworn to make a rasping noise as it fell lifelessly into Belfast harbour.  Business as usual in northern ireland. black ducks and eagle owls all around. Pygmy Owl? Bismarck Hawk Owl? We've got 'em all here. tenner a pop. not too sure about other species of owls. We have around 200 species of owls in Northern Ireland (minus Tawny Owl). Here's a request from stephen 'jake the dicmax' maxwell. Yer Uncle Hugo loves ye.....(although he's not too sure about your MC Hammer trousers).
