Osage County, Missouri

I have been doing serious birding since 1979.
I bird watch at The Chase in Dagenham and have been doing so since 2010.
South Gloucestershire

I'm an amateurish birder who's been listing since 2006. I started off at a young age being into creepy crawlies and have now turned most of my attention to feathered animals. I enjoy the competitive aspect of the 'sport' we call bird watching. I've studied Diplomas and Certificates in Animal Management, Ornithology and Horticulture and have dabbled with work such as Reserve Wardening, Bird Ringing and Butterfly Monitoring. I've been working with Marine Animals since 2006

I am an ex-pat Brit now living permanently in the US. A life-long birder and naturalist, have spent the last 15 years or so travelling the world, latest trips Madagascar (2011), South Africa (2009). With my wife I am currently exploring the US, and will be visiting Utah and Colorado this winter. My world list stands at just under 4200, ABA around 730 UK 430. We are keen to visit Alaska, Antarctica and New Zealand ASAP
Northumberland
United Kingdom
I have been a birdwatcher for some time and have only just started to keep a list. Having been medically retired from work I can spend more time at it. Although I will not be rushing around the country to see rare visitors, if it happens to be where I am then I will count myself lucky.
Grt. Manchester
United Kingdom
Began birdwatching in 1985. Most of my birding is done outside of Grt. Manchester(Sucs). Likes Digiscoping, Man.City, Carp Fishing.
County Durham
United Kingdom
Based in County Durham and been birdwatching since mid 2008. Started listing in 2009. Do not twitch but visit a range of habitats and counties at certain parts of the year to target as many species as possible. Patch list at Low Barns.
With a lifelong passion for all kinds of wildlife I love the encouragement that PSL and its community give me to keep learning and exploring, but grounded in local recording, particularly my role as a voluntary wildlife surveyor for the Greensand Trust. I also value the continuing opportunities to engage with both young and old, inspiring others to experience and value the wildlife in their local countryside. For me the most fulfilling wildlife encounters take place within the context of community, whether that be friends from near and far, the Bucks Fungus Group, the Wildflower Society or the Bedfordshire Natural History Society. PSL is the icing on the cake!
Birded up to about 1990 and then moved to London and lost 12 years. Birding again since 2003 when I found a little egret and thought it was a rareity on a walk with partner. Haven't stopped since.
Lincolnshire
United Kingdom
Greenkeeper and passionate about wildlife and conservation. Love Moths and birds
East Lothian
United Kingdom
Grew up in NE Scotland, listing from 1980; Cambs/Beds/Herts 1987-2004; Lothian 2004 to date; only really do "self-found".
My interest in birds started as a ten year old living in Hertfordshire. Over the years it has been overtaken by fishing, football and golf at various times, but it has always been there in the background. When I moved to one of the country's meccas, Cornwall, five years ago, my interest was re-kindled. I twitch local birds and I'm rubbish at finding my own, the one notable exception being the Hayle Estuary Forster's Tern. This is why my total is relatively low. I'm hoping I can get to three hundred one day. I have tried to hit 200 for the year a couple of times and managed it!
Oxfordshire
United Kingdom
Oxford-based birder, getting out as often as job/family permit, but otherwise enjoying garden birding. No car, so twitching activities limited by how far I can get by bike!
Nottinghamshire
United Kingdom
Been birding since I was a boy (over 50 years) when my Dad used to take me to Dungeness and been birding in Notts since 1975.
Leicestershire
United Kingdom
Ex County recorder for Leics and Rutland. Still think of myself as a Yorkshire birder too despite being down here since 1988.
Birding since I was 15, so about 53 years. World-listing semi-seriously for about 30 years. Have never bothered much about my British life list but apart from that I try and live up to my name.
Enjoy finding stuff for myself and rarely chase after anything except county lifers or WP ticks within easy range (few and far between when you live in Leics)
