About me

Gender Male
Introduction I'm a passionate young naturalist, bird migration enthusiast and local patch birder, based in Herefordshire.
Interests I'm a young naturalist and birder living in Herefordshire with a particular interest in bird migration. I have a passion for discovering the biodiversity of different habitats and ecosystems. I'm also a very keen local patch watcher, trainee bird ringer, a (very!) amateur entomologist and I'm learning the ropes of ecological surveying. I volunteer with the BTO, taking part in the Wetland Bird Survey, Breeding Bird Survey and Nest Recording Scheme. I also volunteer on the reserve team at WWT Slimbridge, as well as having done some short-term volunteering at a few bird observatories around the country. During 2023, I won the Zeiss Young Birder and the Martin Garner Spurn Young Birder competitions. Find me on Twitter at The Young Birder, @_Birder1.
