G'day everyone
I reckon I can beat Jade, Kurtis, Tim and the
others as being the youngest on Birding-aus. I am only 15 and have been
seriously birding for a couple of years now.
I first started seriously birding in 2001. Since
then I have gained a heap of experience from other birders (thanks especially to
Steve Clark who has taught me a lot of what I know) and the many different
holidays I have been on with my family (up the centre and around Western
Australia in 2001, and up to Cairns and the Atherton Tablealnds in 2002) and now
regard myself as a fairly competent birder. My Australian life list is currently
at 393 so I think I am well on my way.
I would also like to take this opportunity to
encourage all other older and more experienced birders out there to help other
younger and less experienced people. Birding is a very fun and rewarding hobby,
but is something that I have found to be very addictive (not that that's a bad
thing).
