It was originally arranged for a 10 o'clock start, but I was concerned about how hot it would be for the birds as it was a 3 hour experience, so emailed him, and we ended up starting at 7:30, much nicer than the 36 degrees it got to, and the light was less intense :)

Thanks William, I've only seen one once in the wild, very distantly.
