A fun loving bird watcher: here to have fun!
Setting myself a challenge of 120 birds in January and see how I go...saw my first gold finich yesterday and now want to seek out more rare species and make a greater effort to go to different sites and enjoy more of the UK countryside.
A birder since childhood, I have assiduously avoided learning anything at all about Phylloscopus warblers over the last 50 years.

The world of birding came upon me gradually, beginning as early as I can remember listening to and imitating the calls of Cardinals in the backyard. As a child I remember paging through a dusty old field guide in amazement at all the colors and varieties of birds. Family camping trips with my birdwatching relatives fueled the slow burning ember. At about age 18 I purchased a field guide for my Dad who was wanting to start a new hobby. I couldn't put the book down. I absorbed everything I could read. I happily identified birds in my backyard and on my many outdoor hikes and fishing trips with my family. Fate brought a birding mentor into my life who introduced me to a whole other side to this hobby. My first Big Day brought me 70+ life birds, fanning the flame into a blaze. I have been passionate about birding ever since. I've traipsed through chigger-infested grass, climbed the bluffs of the Ozarks, gotten stuck tire-deep in the mud of the Arkansas river bottoms, and have ventured to Florida, Wisconsin, and Arizona with many states in between to bird with my sister and cousin. I look forward to this lifelong passion that will bring many more adventures.

Birding for 40yrs having lived in Norfolk and Suffolk origionally from Lancs, and now living in Scotland, also trying my hand at photography.........say no more!.
Started birdin at 9. My patch thru my teens and to late twenties were the marshes of Frodsham in Cheshire..in 2000 I began working as a Air Steward in 2002 I started flying long haul and to this day this how I spend my days downroute, as family life takes over when back in the UK birding is limited to only when walking the dog!
I've been birding since 1955 so a lifelong birder. Now live in Donegal and still occasionally twitch around Ireland. I only keep County and Year Lists now
