Birder born in north Nottinghamshire before moving to Yorkshire. Lived in West Yorkshire near Keighley until recently when I moved to North Ferriby near Hull.
I am a member of the Patchwork Challenge admin team, helping to run the increasingly popular UK patch birding competition.
Watched birds for most of my life but never made any lists.
I have decided to start keeping lists and turn my interest in birds into a much bigger hobby.

I was a keen if inept birder in my teens, never really learned where to go birding. Then came Uni sex & drugs & rock,n,roll, and one way or another more or less stopped birding picking it up again in 2005.
I never stopped looking at birds though, just didn't put in any effort.
I only really started getting a bit serious again in 2006.
Hence a british list of only 160
For my ref that's 141'st of 154 who actually have lists on Bubo ( with more people joining in, I guess as my list grows, my ranking is actually likely to go down !!!!)
