Chosen as one of the world’s best birding blogs of 2017
I love writing my blog, that’s why I do it. I like writing about anything I want to. It is amazing that lots of people around the world like to read it and that my blog is coming up to 2 million views. That is just astonishing. Sometimes I try to work out how many different people that is, but I have no idea.

It was lovely to receive an e-mail from a USA birder and blogger who writes the Bird Watching HQ blog letting me know that he had included my blog in his list of Best Birding Blogs of 2017. He had only listed one other blog from the UK blog and the rest were from the USA. Thank you very much, that’s brilliant. This is the link to his blog post – http://birdwatchinghq.com/bestblogs/.

About The Author
Hi, I’m Dr. Mya-Rose Craig. I am a 19-year-old prominent British-Bangladeshi ornithologist, environmentalist, diversity activist as well as an author, speaker and broadcaster. At age 11 I started the popular blog Birdgirl, and at age 17 I became the youngest person to see half of the birds in the world.
Lyrical, poignant and insightful.’ - Margaret Atwood
This is my story; a journey defined by my love for these extraordinary creatures. Because large or small, brown, patterned or jewelled, there is something about birds that makes us, even for just moments at a time, lift our eyes away from our lives and up to the skies.
