I’ve always been quite a fan of targets – having measurable aims by which one can assess progress, and the pace of it, is generally a help. Yes, I know it depends what the targets are, and how they are set etc etc etc Of course it does. But the RSPB did set targets for…

I haven’t delved into Bird Study yet as I was distracted by its wrapper.
