Well ... as you all know, in these L ...o...n.....g Lockdown Days I've been " doing" a TV list of birds ....it's quite exciting actually.Yesterday I charted all the "possible" programmes with a good chance of having birds in them ... I hardly watched any of them, because other issues intervened, but I did get quite a few of those precious TV Ticks. And I've slotted in some Radio ones as well.
