Life as a Twitcher
Once I came out of the closet and self-described as a twitcher, I felt strangely liberated. I was out and proud. The usually unkind descriptor ‘nerd’ is still applied to …
I spend many many restorative hours tramping over this wide brown land chasing as many of Australia’s 850+ bird species as I can. And if I don’t see them, I think of all the wonderful places that I’ve been anyway. That aside, I have seen over 620 species and I haven’t been to any of the offshore islands such as Norfolk, Lord Howe, Christmas, Macquarie etc.
I speak about birds and birdwatching and I lead tours of amateurs and afficianados alike, locally and to India, a country I’ve visited many times. Check the tabs here and see things that I’ve written about birds, musings on birdwatching and bird activities.
