Backward Birding

Being the doings and rantings of a Devonian birder of a rather Backward persuasion. May contain wibble. Will contain digressions, tangents, and possibly some stuff about birds. Warning: all opinions voiced within are purely conjectural, all bird identifications are to be assumed erroneous and actually refer to either Mallard [Anas ubiquitus], Common Buzzard [Buteo crowbaiteo], Herring Gull [Larus shiteonyourcarus], Woodpigeon [Columba fatbastardii] or Chaffinch [Fringilla irritatus].

About Me

Backward Birder
I'm Tom, a birder best identified by my habitual wearing of silly hats. I live in Devon and think very highly of the place. I've been watching birds since I was old enough to hold bins, with my interest in rocks maybe even predating that. I am not in any way famous, something I am quite happy with.
