C
I was coming home from school on the bus when I got a message from Mike. It was very short: Mkt X7. UGNT. It meant he wanted to meet me at the Market Cross at 7 o'clock that evening and it was something urgent(紧急的). It was a bit unusual. We planned to meet after school on Friday to prepare for our birdwatching as usual.

My name's Don. I'm fifteen and I go to Blueway Comprehensive School. Mike is the same age and goes to the local grammar school, but we are friends for several years. We started to go birdwatching 5 years ago. We do it every week, read about it and use the internet to learn about birds, and we're members of a club for birdwatchers too.
At 6:45 I walked to Market Cross. Soon I saw him standing on the side of the road.
"Hi, Mike. What happened?" I asked at once.
"Just wait a moment," he answered. "After this week of good weather followed by last night's storm, I thought there might be some good birds," he said.
"Really?" I asked. A smile played over Mike's face. "Yes, osprey(鱼鹰)," he said very quietly. "What!?" I shouted. "Osprey, and we'd better keep it secret," he said again. I sat looking at him with my mouth open.
An osprey is a big hunting bird and catches fish. There weren't any in Britain. In 1954 a pair nested(筑巢) in Scotland. A society protected them well because lots of people wanted osprey eggs for their collections.
Mike continued(继续), "So, shall we go birdwatching tomorrow morning?"
"But are you sure it'll be there?" I asked.
"Birdwatcher!" he said. A real birdwatcher should know that nobody can say what a bird would or wouldn't do at a particular(特定的) time.
"So, are you coming?"
"Oh... oh... all right," I said, knowing my parents would be very angry. They thought I spent too much time birdwatching.
