Hello!
Planning a first time, work-related trip to London and Birmingham in late May.
I have been a “serious” birder (if there is such a thing) for about 5-6 years. I, like most birders, immediately start investigating local species/targets whenever traveling. My only other trip outside of the US has been a too-short Peru trip for birding tour guides. I have led tours around the US - the hotspots, Florida, Texas, Arizona, Minnesota, California, and mostly in my home state of Ohio.
I am very excited to have the opportunity to visit Birmingham during the UK Games Expo (work), and look forward to seeing a number of new species. I have only just started researching, but targets so far are Great Spotted Woodpecker and Green Woodpecker. I believe those are the only two realistic possibilities from my favorite family of birds...
I look forward to reading about the birding in the area. Let me know if any of you have visited Ohio or plan to! It’s a wonderful destination in the spring - The Warbler Capital of the World!
