I've been a naturalist and biological recorder since childhood. I grew up in North Wales and started, predictably, with birds before focusing on botany. Then came an obsessive moth phase. More recently I've focused on Diptera. I also dabble in Auchenorrhyncha and Symphyta and anything else that turns up in my net and looks interesting. I started PSL around 2015 based on previous lists and notes. Currently nearing completion on a mission to see all the UK Sorbus taxa.
Any species level biological record counts, dead or alive, plant hybrids are included but only where they are clearly persistent and occur away from one or other parent. Nearly all of my PSL is self-found and identified.
Student, studying Biology at the University of Southampton. Been birding since the beginning of October 2007 in Hampshire mainly but recently started in Dorset and Wiltshire.
1st official outing was 5th Nov 2007 when lifelist commenced. All species (apart from Alpine Chough in Spain) have been seen with Seth Gibson, undoubtedly the best boyfriend in the world! Been to various sites in UK and Nicaragua in Apr/May 2009. Took me long enough, but I can ID many birds myself now. My new patch is Epsom common - see if you can spot me spotting! I enjoy twitching too, when I can. Watch my lists grow, and watch out Danny Cooper and Nick Bond!

I am full time naturalist and entrepreneur based out of Kalimpong- India, have been birding since 2010 and professionally birding since 2015, starting my company known as BirdingXtreme. Although, originally from Kolkata, my passion for wildlife and in particular birds has drawn me to settle in this hotspot.
I am a Pune based wild life enthusiast, nature lover and professional photographer. A commerce graduate and a businessman by profession I got into serious birding and photography since 2009. I am absolutely passionate about photography and am an avid reader and keep myself updated with all the latest facts and figures which I feel is a must in this field. While in the wild, I have discovered peace and contentment which I feel is the perfect ‘stress buster’ in this fast pace world. I have photographed all kinds of wild life be it flowers, landscape, insects, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals having travelled extensively all over India. I am ready to go to any lengths to get the perfect, elusive and exclusive shots. I let my photographs speak for themselves. I have been sharing my experience along with my photographs on Facebook. I am currently focusing on the rare species of birds in India. My quest is to explore all strata’s of the earth…. and would like to explore the 98 National Parks and 441 Wild-life Sanctuaries in India first, as well as concentrate on the rare species of North-east region of India.
