Currently based in West Sussex, been seriously birding for just over 5 years now but have always had an interest from my early days. Spent two seasons out in Cyprus in 2005 and 2006 and would like to travel over Europe to see more species aswell as having a good few trips with the Widerscope crew. Check out our website that is gradually taking shape!

Totally out of my depth most of the time, but I love birds madly.
Been birding since late '76 when I was introduced to the hobby by a classmate. Did quite a lot of twitching in the eighties and nineties but find I am a lot more selective these days. I won't generally travel hundreds of miles just to get a UK tick which I have already seen abroad.
I try not to think of all the places I have been before I got into birding too much: Alps, Russia, all over Australia, NZ and USA, Baja California, Hawaii and Fiji. Hopefully one day I'll get back to some of those places! Learning slowly but loving it- seeing new places and being outside more, as well as being more observant to other parts of the natural world. Plus have met some really nice people.

London Birder with a London list of 245 species, not really interested in national twitching, I speak fairly good Spanish and have visited Extremadura in central Spain where the birding is amazing.

I try.
Will always be ahead of LWM.
I started birdwatching in 1973 after breaking my leg playing soccer. I had 3 months off work and saw a few birds in the garden and that's where it all started. Was seconded to Melbourne for 3 years by the Norwich Union in 1975. Didn't take me long to realise the birds were more plentiful and had actual colours! I'm still here, and since the kids left home, I have become an unashamed twitcher.
Began birding 2009. Don't get out much :-)
