Life List

A life list is a maintained list containing all biological species seen by someone, most commonly birdwatchers, throughout their life. I have been birdwatching since I can remember — I began to take the pursuit more seriously, and thus began recording each new species, in 2024.

For me, the life list is the natural extension of my love for cataloguing and archiving. Funds prevent me from being the type of naturalist who spends tens of thousands a year travelling to every corner of the globe, and I don't have to be that guy! I have a sincere appreciation for the wildlife in my region, no matter how common or unremarkable they're deemed to be. It's wonderful to be able to provide valuable data for wildlife organisations, too. Unfortunately, even the populations of Europe's most familiar birds are declining.
