I don't twitch outside Kent these days, unless I am in Dorset, then I don't twitch outside Dorset.
Interested in Birds, Moths and Mammals anywhere really.
Not particularly fussed about a BOU life list, but keener on my Kent list and seeing new species abroad.
Joint architect of BUBO Listing and Pan-Species Listing with Mike Prince. Originally from Leeds, spent six years in Bristol, a couple of years in Cornwall and have lived in Norfolk since 1996. Worked 25 years at BTO, but now a freelance ecologist specialising in invertebrate surveys. In spare time (hah!) I can mostly be found bug-bothering in south Norfolk.

Status: Absolute beginner. I started birding in 2013. Not a big lister, but thought it would be nice to keep track of what I see. A friend recommended this site which I thought a great idea after having lost some of my birding data in a computer crash.
Living in Germany, not too far from the dutch and the belgian borders, but do love to travel, so will hopefully be able to add birds from all over the world
Pretty new to this I am constantly looking for inspiration birding-wise and birders (North Rhine Westfalia.or elsewhere)
A "return birder" (dabbled as youngster before being distracted by music) back to the natural world since circa 2009. Began moth-trapping obsession from home (VC61) in 2019. Ever-expanding interest in wildlife as getting a real grip on anything specifically seems to drift further away, but enjoying the whole process.
Primarily an arachnologist, part time birder, so obviously non-competitive! Ran the Aberystwyth Natural History Society for two academic years at uni, and that's where I got into birding. I had wanted to get into the hobby since I was a boy because of the accessibility of birds and the social side, but it was discovering the accumulation aspect that got me hooked! I currently live in Bournemouth, but go birding mostly in Hampshire.
None of my lists include species that were heard only.
