I must warn you, dear reader, that I may go off on a tangent occasionally and have a good rant on various subjects surrounding birdwatching (the geographical placing of Ireland catching all the North American Vagrants that otherwise would end up on my doorstep; the interference of school and homework in childhood birding; or the lack of 'good' birds that appear on my patch - so far numbering 1 and even that was probably an escapee... ... ....)
So with that out of the way I shall introduce myself: I am a 13 year old birder. I have been interested in birds since November 2009 and between then and now I have seen a grand total of 148 species. All aspects of birding interest me: conservation to counting; ticking to twitching; ringing to raising money! So join me as I document my birding adventures both the ups and downs...
Looking forward to reading more - I'll probably learn a lot! Try vogelwarte.ch, then start planning your trip to Switzerland... Did you know that my sister saw migrating storcks a few weeks ago? More than 80(!) of them landed near our town to avoid a storm! It was in the paper the following day.
