Started birding again in the early nineties after been interested in bird watching from junior school.
I also make Tern rafts and all types of bird boxes especially Owl boxes.
Write about my adventures at home and abroad on my blog Greenpecker.blogspot.com just to say I'm no photographer.
Started birding in 1979 when I was 11 years old after winning a free subscription to the YOC after winning a Blue Peter Garden birds competition.
I then learned to escape into the fields to avoid the bullies and found I more birds.
In 1987 I became unemployed and started Birding seriously. In 1989 I had my first scope for my 21st Birthday. In this year I was introduced to the Lowestoft Birders who showed me a Long-eared Owl. I never recovered from being Bullied and find it hard to make friends so still prefer Birding on my own. I now just work my local 10km square trying to beat my year list annually.
I have been birding all my life.
