I finally retired just over three years ago as a burnt out Social Worker! So now, I spend a lot of time Birdwatching (Birding not Twitching). I am a member of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, Essex Wildlife Trust and British Trust for Ornithology.
I have had a lifelong passion for wildlife, Birdwatching has been my intermittent hobby since I was young, intermittent because during my growing up, I discovered other activities and of course girls! One girlfriend became my wife in 1970 (Phew...married 43years). I am a father of two and also a grandfather of two. Most of the time is spent birdwatching in Essex and in particular the R.S.P.B. at Rainham Marsh.
