Happy 10th Birthday to Trevor’s Birding

Happy Birthday to Trevor’s Birding.

10 years old today.

Goodness, how the years have flown since my very first post on this site. That was actually on a different platform and has been updated several times over the years.

A few statistics

• A total of 1668 articles about birds and birding
• Well over 5300 comments from my readers
• Several thousand photos shown
• Visitors from over 200 countries and territories
• Over a million pageviews from well over half a million visitors

Travels

Wherever I travel I take my camera, binoculars, notebook and field guide and fit in times of birding (bird watching) and bird photography whenever I can. On many occasions I also go out and about near my home for the deliberate purpose of birding. On my return home I then enjoy writing on this site about the birds I have seen and sharing the best of my photos. Some of these travels take me to other states in Australia as well, especially when we visit family in Sydney, and friends in other places.

Archives

Some of my readers may not be aware of the many hundreds of articles in my archives – 1668 articles to be precise – and growing every few days with new articles. These can be accessed via the button at the top of each page and range from the most recent to the very first article. Here is a treasure trove of writing about birds.

Contents

Another way of accessing articles on specific areas of interest is via the Contents on the side bar, including

• How to be a birder
• Glossary of Bird Words – to help my readers understand any jargon used here (and it needs some editing – as well as  be completed)
• Favourite Birding Spots – some of my favourite places to go birding (and it needs some serious updating!)
• Great birding moments – those special times when I saw a special bird, or got a lovely photo

Categories and search

Another way of searching for specific information on this site it to use the search facility (in the top right hand corner of each page). Just type in what you are looking for – you might be surprised what comes up. The categories section on the sidebar is another area where you can search for articles on a particular species or topic. If all that doesn’t work, try the contact form – also at the top of each page. Send your questions to me via email and I will reply as soon as I can, noting that there will be a delay if I am busy out birding and away from my computer.

Comments

Every article has a comments section and I would love to have many more. The 5300 comments so far are just the beginning. Just remember that they are moderated, and I reserve the right not to accept, or delete, or even edit comments, so keep them civil and in good taste. Children often read the articles here.

Photos

Over the years I have shared many photos here, with many more to come. Today, however, I decided to share a few of my favourite ones (see below).

Enjoy.

And keep coming back for more.

Good birding.

Trevor
