Birds of Leicestershire and Britain
The two fold purpose
of this page is simple: on one hand to bookkeep my few bird
observations and on the other to collect some links and info that I
found useful for birding in the UK and Leicestershire in
particular.
Although I started my birding in the Cotswolds, back in 1973, my main birding
experience is from Holland, Japan and Uruguay. Since September 2000 I live in Leicester.
