About me
I have been birding, (or at least trying) since 1981, my first half decent find was a Black Redstart in 1984 - this was very exciting for a 16 year old kid..

Other good birds followed & include Great Grey Shike, Ortolan Bunting, Pectoral Sandpiper, Red-backed Shrike & Wryneck...not too bad for an idiot : }

My local patch is Pinner Park Farm, which I have covered for twenty long years.

Birding has nothing to do with being any good, it is simply about being in the right place at the right time.

The photograph in the avatar (until I change it), is of a first-winter Red-backed Shrike at Pinner Park Farm.

Outside birding, I collect guitars & am fairly revered over my expertise over precious metals & hallmarks - a life long endeavour..

I have an extensive music collection & listen to everything from Big Black to Abba - & you can laugh, but not as much as me :)

My girlfriend Gabrielle is very supportive & important to me - I'm a very lucky guy :)
