2024 Annual Dinner - featuring David Lindo, the Urban Birder
I’m David Lindo, also known as The Urban Birder. I’m a broadcaster, writer, naturalist, photographer, public speaker, tour leader and oh, I have been known to do the odd bit of birding! Born and raised in London, I love anything nature, but for as long as I can remember birds have been my particular obsession. I never switch off when it comes to urban birding, I’m forever on the lookout. It’s a beautiful world up there. My main passion is for urban birds and I spend my time doing as much as I can to promote the appreciation and conservation of the birds that share our city lives. I now travel the world encouraging citizens and organizations to step outside wherever they may be to enjoy urban birding. I try to inspire people to re-look at their urban environments. I believe wildlife in urban areas is so easy to engage with. All we have to do is open our eyes, ears, hearts and minds and soon we will be linked into the nature around us. My message is simple- #Look up!
My Topic: Extremadura: Spain's BIG Birding Secret! I have known Extremadura for the past 14 years - the last 8 years as a resident - and have become very familiar with this incredible region in southwest Spain. It is one of the best places for birding in the whole of western Europe. It hosts a wonderful range of habitats from mountains to wetlands and specialty birds like the Great and Little Bustards, sandgrouse, vultures and larks. Let me show you around.
