I love getting out and about and with the addition of my super new Cannon camera with sports lens, I finally managed see the more intricate differences between birds. For a little history, my family is a bit... well, competitive. My dad and his brothers used to play point scoring Frisbee - 10 points for a head shot - and so on, and this is when they were just kids! Anyway, bird watching for them became a competition, who could see how many different birds in a year. (this was among fishing competitions and who knows what else).
So, I too have a competitive nature, but no bird watching competitions here. I like getting out into nature, and with the ability to take photos and work out what birds I was looking at, I really started to get into being a real bird watcher.
As for the website, well, no real reason other than to share my photos, a little bit of the knowledge that I've picked up and hopefully, one day I'll get the web site up and running enough to have other bird watchers involved in discussions, the do's and don’ts of being a bird watcher, and how to find the more elusive species around.
Hope you can enjoy the pictures as I do. (below a NewHolland Honey Eater at the front of my house)
