About Me

Ellesmere port, Cheshire, United Kingdom
View my complete profile
I’m a birder, naturalist, and ecologist based in Ellesmere Port. This is my personal wildlife blog, where I document bird sightings in Cheshire, the Wirral, and further afield. I use it as a diary of my trips across the UK and abroad, sharing memorable encounters, rarities, and the places and people I meet along the way.
