I've birded on an off since I was six. I've visited over 40 countries, not all for birding sadly and lived in the middle east, North Africa, Great Britain, Trinidad and the United States. I'm an avid sound recorder and have posted thousands of recordings on Xeno-canto (http://www.xeno-canto.org/recordist.php?id=PWDLINYMKL) and my photos are on my Flicker page (http://www.flickr.com/photos/madbirder). I now guide for Birdtour Asia. |

Japanese Flying Squirrel (Petaurista leucogenys), Japan, Mount Takao, Tokyo 2017.01.26
Only one found on my night safari -- maybe due to the cold it stayed in the same spot for over 20 minutes, with its tail over its body to keep warm!

Japanese Hare, Japan, Mount REnge, Nagano Prefecture 2015.08.12
I found this hare hiding under a creeping pine bush just five minutes after watching a nearby Asiatic Black Bear. Pity that my main Crappy Canon Camera was out of order -- again -- this pic was taken with iPod
