Retired and took to bird watching and Photography as a new hobby. Almost 5 years later I know have a good data base of photos and spend most of of time birding in the Notts, Lincs areas.
'Enthusiastic amateur' birder since 2000.
My 'approach' to birding has changed dramatically since I was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2018. Following surgery and then a course of radiotherapy, I attended a course run by MacMillan Cancer just before lockdown kicked off in March 2020, during which I was encouraged to set myself a weekly fitness target. I decided to set myself a walking target and, coincidentally, about that time I also found out about the ‘green birding’ project set up by Gary ‘the green birder’ Prescott – all of which means that since May 2020 I have walked or cycled to lots and lots of nature reserves and other birding hotspots within a 10 mile radius of where I live in Totton, near Southampton. Incidentally the target was walking 50,000 steps, in fact I've averaged over 90,000 - nature as therapy indeed!

Birding since I was 9 ish!
I've been birding since I was 14 thats 34 yrs in total and am now looking forward to hitting my target of 500 BOU by 50 hopefully in 2008. Based in Lincs through all that time apart from 6 years Uni in London. Managed to stay married with 3 children all over 18 despite a fair amount of twitching from 1987 onwards. I've travelled a reasonable amount in the western pal and having got a conscience about carbon output I'm now focusing on my UK green list. Haven't actually got out of Lincs on foot or by bike yet though!

Pieter is a 31 year-old (as of 05-01-2014) biology teacher who has been enjoying birds from at least the age of 6. It was then that his teacher wrote in his testimonial that "Pieter is a nice kid, but he should stop staring at the birds outside during class". And it only got worse from the age of 10, when he inherited a few bird books from his grandfather and got his first binoculars from his dad. Pieter has had the fortune to visit many European countries starting when he was 16, and now he has set his eyes beyond the European borders. After photography he decided to buy a camcorder, partly because of the IBC-website. He now has material from Mexico, Belize & Guatemala, Peninsular Malaysia, Sri Lanka, India and The Gambia, Sulawesi and Halmahera (Indonesia), Suriname, Tanzania, USA, as well as a few vagrants for the Netherlands. From February untill July 2011 he resided in Paramaribo in Suriname, where he taught biology to the local youth. He tried to explore the local wildlife when he could! The next destination will be Australia (and hopefully New Zealand) in 2014, where he hopefully will drive to many corners of the continent.

My favorite bird quote: When birds burp, it must taste like bugs. - Bill Watterson
Knew birds existed, but began to watch them in a more organized way last year. Organized is once a month, for a couple of hours and then maybe a few full days a year; no written records, so this one seems helpful!
Birding since 2 years. Specially interested in owls.
I am working on wildlife conservation through community based tourism in Kumaon region of Uttarakhand. Promoting bird watching in this region by organizing bird watching camps, also formed a birding club on facebook which is named as Twitcher Birding Club. Own a small campsite "Camp Milieu- A Birding Paradise" near Kaladhungi.
Have been birdwatching all my life, and keep a UK year list, UK life list, world list and lists for every country I visit (currently 50 countries on 6 continents).
