Naturalist based in the Kabini area of the Nagarhole National Park in India.
I started birding in my early teens at my local patch Dagenham Chase, where i was to meet other keen birders Ken Barrett, Steve Bacon, Mike Sullivan and Colin Evans. It was with Steve and Colin that i first went on a rarity twitch, (the Little Bittern at Oreham Common West Sussex on 9th April 1988 ). Since then i have amassed fairly respectable BOU, Local Patch, Essex and London life lists. I have also birded in Canada(Pelee),USA(Arizona), and the Greek island of Lesbos. I am also a football fan West Ham United being my team of choice. I enjoy quality real ale, a pint of Hicks in The Atlantic Hotel St Mary's is one of my favourites.
Started birding at the age of six. Broad interest: identification, subspecies, ringing, DNA, twitching, vis migging, breeding birds, world listing, etc. Wide interest in other subjects as well (ecology in general; vertebrates; some insect groups; plants). And occasionally I even manage to write an article. I have an unexplained interest in little visited sites, which often turns out to be very unproductive for my life list ;-)

Enthusiastic though not fanatic birdwatcher. I get a thrill out of every new species, but am not competitive in any sense.

Very little twitching done these days prefering my local patch and trying to improve my photography.

I've been interested in natural history most of my life, with an increasing focus on insects once I realised that there were a lot more of those than there are birds. I have a particular interest in Hoverflies, Ladybirds and Heteroptera, and I'm the county recorder for the latter in Bedfordshire.
