Birding since I was in a pushchair. Thanks due to a father that instilled a thorough grounding in all things birdy.
Was encouraged not to go to Scilly until I could id 300 species. Twitching on and off since the mid 80's. 20 years a ringer. now a dedicated patch watcher.

Norfolk Listing is my main interest now as far as birding goes and got lots of tarts ticks still missing !!
