      Thanks Ferdy. I am fortunate in that I live right next to an internationally important wetlands area which is rich in bird life including migratory birds. I only found birding about three years ago so I am somewhat of a novice on a learning curve. Posted 10 years ago

        Literally a great breeding ground to build up your skill then, looking forward to more of your work. And you already introduced 8 brand new bird species to the site:
