Birds have always had the ability to bring me out of a dark space and provide relief in bad times.

As at 31 December 2025 my life list stands at 645. Off these I have seen 608 birds within the borders of South Africa. My Southern African Bird list is 616.
GARDEN BIRDS – My garden bird list includes all birds I have seen while within my garden, even those that have just flown past. See this rather impressive list HERE.
SOUTH AFRICAN BIRD LIST – Most of my birding has been in South Africa, and birds within the borders of this wonderful country make up the biggest part of my life list. See the list HERE.
SOUTHERN AFRICAN BIRD LIST – I was fortunate to do a day visit to Botswana and add some Southern African Birds to my list. You can see the list HERE.
INTERNATIONAL AND MARION ISLAND BIRD LIST – A couple of birds from Greece and the incredible Marion Island Trip make up my International Bird List. See them HERE.
