Will's on Lynda and Robert's team for the bird spotting - he's their driver and woodland bird specialist, also advising on the routes. Robert has been following the Borsetshire Bird website, where a Firecrest has been reported. Their team name is rather a sore point for Lynda. Robert points out that in order to beat Jim they need to be serious and have a serious name - so 'Ambridge Aviators' it is.
Mike has to drop out of the team, as the house sale is starting to go through. Lynda doesn't know much about the people moving in though.
Jim has roped Kenton in to his team - mainly for the driving expertise. Jim has a challenging itinerary. Kenton has chosen their team name - the Bull Birders. Jim will pay all Kenton's costs for using the car on Monday for the race.
Jim has found an independent environment company to assess the road in light of the flood - a woman called Hattie seems helpful with information for their research.
