Onboard we would fill in Meteorological log books. the best would receive annual presentations from the UK Met office. I would enhance ours with photographs, the rest is history. What once started out as a way of improving reports and avoiding embarrasing sketches and drawings has turned into a hugely enjoyable passtime enabling me to travel a bit off the beaten track and meet some rather "special" people.
    This website will be mainly birds but you might find the odd dolphin or even whale pop up as this project evolves. I do regret, albeit only slightly, not starting this earlier and not keeping a lot of my Non-bird photographs. I have also lost quite a few birds to lost & discarded photographs due to moving around quite a lot, maybe an earlier move to digital would have helped. I did like the Nikon D80 I had, old but reliable, but have now gone up a bit to the Nikon D7100 and found it a lovely camera. Still have the Sigma 50/500 lens for most bird photography but using the Sigma 18/200 a bit now. Upside is that I will have to take a lot more photographs, see a lot more places and meet more interesting people. I also hope to add some photographs of the places I have been and some of the people I have met.
