I have been bird watching since as early as I can remember, around 8 years old! I have travelled fairly extensively and covered parts of Malaysia, Africa, Europe and South and Central America......still not 'done' North America although Ontario, Canada in 1978 was visited. I place emphasis upon absolutely positive identifications but am not a lister, enjoying bird watching in a more leisurely fashion......I have had some brilliant Twitches though, in the past!!
