Growing up I was always more interested in watching and
enjoying nature. I would be in the outfield playing that boring game cricket
and be more interested in watching the masked lapwings and its chicks.

For many years I have watched the abundance of birds, using
my trusty old slater field guide trying to quickly identify from memory.

This year I picked up a camera and gave the “Game” a go. I
thought that I would be happy to reach 100 species, I reached it and realised I
was enjoying myself, meeting some awesome fellow birders and exploring some
birding areas I had never ventured into. So the count went on!

Some of my highlights of the year are seeing a Green Pygmy
Goose for the first time, doing a pelagic trip off Mooloolaba and seeing a
Masked Booby. To add to my bird identifying skills has been a major bonus as
well.

Reaching a total of over 250 species has far outreached my
expectations. Will I be back in the game next year?…… Let the birding bug see where it takes me!

Birding is good for the heart, good for the soul and mind, and
seriously better than anything on tv!
Great photos. You had a good year.
