Hello Maeve,

Having seen the observations by readers of your article, I would very  
much like to read the original article if you could send me the text.

As for those readers who are too old for trips (I'm just back from  
Alaska and the Bristle -thighed Curlew) - you're never too old.

Best,
Joan
