I have been interested in birds since the age of 10 and birdwatching regularly since the age of 15. This lead me to be involved with the French partner of BirdLife International (Ligue pour la Protection des Oiseaux) and I have worked in several Nature Reserves in France. I have been working as a guide since 2010 and have experience of birdwatching in various countries (France, Greece, USA, Tunisia, Djibouti, Portugal and Spain). I am also a licensed bird ringer in Portugal and punctually works for an environmental consultancy company, mainly focusing on raptor migration. I am also a regional reviewer for ebird (Brittany) and a regional coordinator for the Common Bird Census in Portugal I am fluent in French, English and Portuguese. I have been living and guiding in the Algarve since 2010. No
