I was born in Norfolk and have been birding all my life and combine this with my passion for photography.
My father Peter Clarke founded the Norfolk Ornithologists' Association in 1962 and was Warden at Holme Bird Observatory for over 33 years. My father writes 'Nature Notes' for the Lynn News which he has been doing since 1979 and has written several natural history publications including (along with my mother Margaret) "Where to Watch Birds in East Anglia". I have two sisters, Lucy and Vivien.
I have seen several MEGAS in Norfolk inc: Ivory Gull, Fan tailed Warbler, Thrush Nightingale, Pine Bunting, Stilt Sandpiper, White Crowned Sparrow, Dark Eyed Junco, Aquatic Warbler, Penduline Tit, Trumpeter Finch, Bee-eater, Radde's Warbler, Little Bittern, Pacific & American Golden Plovers, Collard & Black winged Pratincole, Great Spotted Cuckoo, Glossy Ibis, Alder Flycatcher, Collared Flycatcher, Great Snipe etc!
I work as a Therapy Assistant, helping to rehabilitate stroke patients. Previously I was a Typesetter/artworker for over 20 years.
