RUTH and fellow bird watcher Alan Davies are flying out to Arizona at the start of world record twitching attempt.
They will spend a year travelling the world aiming to spot as many species of birds as possible.
The current record is 3,662 set by a North America twitcher three years ago.
Ruth and Alan have quit their jobs and sold their homes to fund the trip.
Until she returns Ruth will not be posting her usual blogs.
