The last 10 years have been eventful and full of adventure. I have listed below 21 overseas trips which have been a mixture of guided tours and family holidays where for me the prime interest had been the birds. This year my world list passed the 4,000 mark, I have to guess that at the end of 2009 it would have been around 2000. I was lucky to have a year in 2014 in between jobs which allowed several trips. A recorded highlight from each is below.
