A Blast from the Past.

Thursday 13th March 2025.


I am now going to put on my blog on a weekly basis some of my birding exploits from many years ago. I might suggest clicking on the photo to read what I wrote all those many years ago. Here is an excerpt from my Journal from 1981 when I was the tender age of 17 years old:


When I first started birding, mostly with my late father, I also went along with my best friend at the time, Mark Trigwell. His parents were good friends of my parents and so with both of us interested in birds, we did a lot of birding together from the likes of Farlington Marshes and Pagham Harbour. However, Mark went off to do his own thing and that's when I met up with both Andy Fisher and Geoff Farwell and remained birding pals ever since. Birding then was very exciting for when we discovered the likes of Farlington Marshes and Pagham Harbour, we were seeing new birds quite frequently. I had a Kowa telescope at the time and a pair of Swift Saratoga 8 x 40's.
