Botswana Birder

Hi all,

I am a keen birder currently based in Sydney, but spent years in Botswana's Okavango Delta (the place that made me a bird watcher). I'm happy to share information about Souther Africa or Sydney birding spots.

Hi Pete, your Books are great.

Hi Pete,
It’s been a while, very small world. Enjoying your books, they’re bringing back many memories!! BTW if there is anyone out there who would like an insight to a guides life in the Okavango, I suggest reading Peters books ISBN # 9781741753196 and ISBN # 9781741756418
