Welcome to my website. From my blog feed to photos and tour reports from overseas trips, this website brings together miscellaneous notes, observations, writings, resources and images primarily of birds, from my home city of London, UK, to widely scattered locations around the world. In due course pages on other aspects of natural history will be added, from butterflies to marine mammals. The content is personal, so if you're looking for something you've read in Birdwatch, then take a look at the magazine's website. Please also note that all words and images featured here are protected by copyright - thank you for observing this.
