Today is our last in Norfolk before we head for Heathrow in the morning and our flight to Houston, at the start of another Great American Birding RoAd Trip (GABRAT IV). This trip is to celebrate Neil’s big birthday (three score years and ten) and consists of a month-long clockwise itinerary around the Gulf of Mexico (America), along the Rio Grande – through New Mexico – to south-east Arizona and then back west through the Texas Highlands to Houston. We’ve done similar trips a couple of times before but this is Neil & Nicola’s introduction to the amazing spectacle that is the Americas Spring migration! I’m thinking 350 for the trip is an achievable target? It’ll be dark when we arrive at our first destination of Winnie so I doubt there’ll be any birding news to report for Day 1 – but we’ll see.
