It inspired us to go out to an RSPB reserve on Saturday, and we saw a Bittern, Spoonbills, Avocet, and a Reed bunting, none of which we've seen before.
Actually I'm not a natural birder at all. Dh and the boys love catching a glimpse of "something we've never seen before", but I much prefer being able to watch something properly and that's usually something less rare and less timid. Last week I particularly enjoyed watching the lapwings.
