My first post...

Well this is something I haven't done before.. Name's Jake I'm 18 and I'm from Brighton, Sussex. Currently on a gap year and I am an avid bird watcher. Something I should clear up straight away is I'm not a twitcher, nothing against it I just don't like to specifically travel hundreds off miles to see a very lost and confused bird. I guess I could say I'm more of a local area birder, basically anywhere I can get to via a train or a bus, which is fortunately most places!

Recently got myself some new equipment scope and camera, so I will be posting plenty of reports and pictures in the future!
