Mersey Birders

I'm a birder living in the small Lancashire town of Rishton between Blackburn and Accrington and regularly cover sites all across the north of England whenever the opportunity arises. I've been birding since 1974, my formative years being spent on the nature reserves at Ainsdale and at Marshside on the Lancashire coast.

Stephen Daly here...Thanks for dropping by and looking at the photos and reading some of the stories. My wife Patty and I run Andalucian Guides, a birding and wildlife tour company. We are situated down near Cape Trafalgar, on The Strait of Gibraltar - a mere stone's throw away from Morocco. I am also a principal leader with Limosa Holidays, the UK birding and wildlife tour company which takes me on tour to far flung places like the Caribbean, Turkey and many European destinations including various tours on the Iberian peninsula. One of my passions is wildlife photography and I try to specialise in taking images birds in flight. Of course this isn't an easy task, requiring just like birding, a good eye, patience and a fair bit of hands-on experience. There simply is no better place in Europe than in the bird migration 'heartland', where you could practice flight photography most days of the year. Having such such wonderful light and stunning wildlife as on our very aptly named Costa de La luz - The 'Coast of Light', makes this a natural place to come to for a short break or longer holiday.
