Nice guy, good company with some good stories (seems to be a requirement). <br /><br />He set the Australian record then did it again as he thought he could beat himself; very driven. I never found a blog for 2014 only comments from others when they met him.

I have not crossed paths with him but missed him by a day in Newfoundland and he was on an earlier Repo cruise than I was. Then he went back to Newfy, no one goes twice to Newfy in February unless they are doing a big year, I have been told some contents of contacts with birding guides he has been/spoken with to confirm this.
