Birding

Redgannet’s Year List 2014

January 18, 2014 by Redgannet 3 Comments

This year Redgannet has agreed to include birds on his year list only if they are logged from a site that he has either not birded before, or has not visited for more than 5 years.

Whilst his nomadic lifestyle allows him to bird all around the world, he tends to favour  certain spots and sticks to where he knows. If he is to become a better birder, he must try harder! So this year he will have to stretch his wings a little and explore further afield to amass a decent roll call. There are some destinations where this will be easy but in others, limited birding opportunities will challenge him to add to the list.

He intends to make extensive use of the eBird Hotspot Explorer and even went on his first proper (unsuccesful) twitch.

Redgannet worked for more than 35 years as a flight attendant for an international airline. He came to birding late in his career but, considering the distractions, doesn't regret the missed opportunities. He was paid to visit six continents and took full advantage of the chance to bird the world. He adopted the nom de blog, Redgannet, to avoid remonstrations from his overbearing employer, but secretly hoped that the air of mystery would make him more attractive to women. Now grounded, he is looking forward to seeing the seasons turn from a fixed point.
