Many of my better photos that are taken in Buckinghamshire are also uploaded onto the Buckinghamshire Bird Club website but there is a size limitation on that website and I am able to make a better presentation of a number of photos within my own blog.
I also have various other blogs and websites for foreign birding trips that I have made of the years either as part of a tour group or with birding friends. Some of these are listed below. Click on the title to view the website.
