I’m a long-time fan of video tools for selling. I spent years touting the sight, sound, motion, and emotion of television advertising in a local, traditional media environment. Specifically, I was selling to advertisers the viewers of programs adjacent to these television commercials. It was relatively easy selling a product that you totally believed in and witnessed its success firsthand.

What is your favorite bird species? I would always say the Black-throated Tit, not just because it is the first bird I identified in the field, but also simply because it is cute. I have a soft spot for cute passerines. What is your name, and where do you live? My name is Zhang Zhuyang, but I usually go by Bella Zhang when guiding, to make things easier.

Last week I wrote about the birds that fly over my Suffolk garden (in eastern England), this time it’s the turn of the real garden birds, those that not only land in the garden, but also feed in it. I’ve only lived in my current house for five years: the previous owners weren’t interested in either birds or gardening, so I have to work hard to make the half-acre property more attractive to birds.

After having had a summer with a rich set of different birding experiences – from Rock Ptarmigan in the Alps to scoping out Little Bustards in a steppe in southern France – it was quite a contrast to get back to Bonn in Germany for work and suddenly having my bird sightings reduced to my cycle rides to and from work.

Spain, coming out of a multi-year drought, had begun receiving promising early season rains. And then, on October 29th, these rains turned torrential, leading to Spain’s worst-ever natural disaster.

Surely this is not going to be a very interesting post for many, as the flow of traveling birders tends to be of a southward trajectory. But for the first time in my life, I ended up birding on British soil some weeks ago – and that experience elucidated the exact reasons why so many Brits travel for birds.
