I first became interested in birds after watching the brilliant David Attenborough series The life of birds in the nineties, but it wasn't until 2012 that I started going out, looking for and listing birds.
Living in Suffolk I'm spoilt for choice as far as birding locations go with the RSPB's Minsmere being the pick of the bunch.

I got my first interest in birds as a seven year old but only started to watch birds seriously as a 16 year old and have therefore been birding for 50 years. My main focus up to the point my children had left school was birding locally in Northumberland and around the UK and Europe when possible. I first started to birdwatch more widely across the world around 2012.
I enjoy finding and identifying my own birds but i do carry out some twitching when possible.My local patch is the River Clwyd in Rhyl,North Wales.
Birdwatching for over 45 Years.
Birding since I was a kid - a long time ago!
