Skype video link to B.O.G.

Last night B.O.G. had a commitee meeting and one item on the agenda was the use of Skype for free communications between birders, mainly for use during the autumn visible migration period. The demonstration from the meeting was run by Dave Barker who called me up on my PC at home. Connected by video link from Daves laptop to my PC we could all talk freely and it was just as if I was in the meeting.
We also did screen swop where I could see Daves screen and he could see mine. The experiment went well and Im sure it will be a great asset to birders.
Pictured, taken from my pc, are left to right, BOG members Chris King, Dave Barker and Shaun Radcliffe.

Things have been quiet up here in the gods today other than the normal resident birds busy nest building.
The only other thing new today was contrails across the blue skies now that the planes are getting moving.
