Avid birder, born in Ireland, though now living in Sweden. Into drawing birds in the field, photography and more recently recorded birdsounds...
Falkland Islands (Malvinas)
Former UK twitcher, lived in the Falkland Islands since January 1987
I've been birding seriously since the mid eighties (ie keeping detailed notes and lists). North Buckinghamshire was my main birding area until the late nineties, with many twitches to Scillys, Shetland, Ireland once and most places in between! I now live in Essex. I have not twitched since 2001, but am often tempted, money and time hold be back!
Keen birder - been doing it since I was knee high to a goose - but never really hit the high spots due to work, women, drink, kids, football, etc.
Perthshire, Scotland
United Kingdom
I've been birding since about age 6 and am now rather older than that. I started my "real" birding in Suffolk during family holidays when I went to proper birding places, like Minsmere, as opposed to watching in my granny's back garden in Surrey (full of Turtle Doves in those days). I then graduated to Dungeness where I spent many a happy (and slightly hung-over) day. Having lived and been birding in Yorkshire for 21 years I moved to Orkney in August 2009 and then Perthshire in 2024. These days I'm less interested in just birds and much more interested in pan-species listing, bit of a low lister though.

Hertfordshire

Reformed, non-competitive, British twitcher. Only personal finds listed now, scratched most else. Globally well travelled, I've always got my bins (and only occasionally now my scope too). With no particular geographical loyalties or affiliations I get my kicks from being out and about in new places and accepting what I find, and also accepting what I miss.

Field Biologist, interested in all forms of life.
Living in France for the moment. Grew up in the north-west. Love travelling and exploring new countries and their birds. Favourites include Sweden and Morocco.
I started birding when I was about four and haven't looked back since! I have never twitched a bird, so all of these birds I have seen without really knowing that they're there.
