Hi!

Hi!
I'm Julian Teh, a 15 year old birder from Canberra.

I grew up on a 1/2 acre bush property in the hills above Perth. It's pretty difficult not to be into birds when you're surrounded by them 24/7! 
Very quickly I decided birds were my thing, and since then I've been watching them. A few years back I discovered the joys of "twitching" and list making, and since making lists of my favourite things to spend time doing, I picked it up very quickly! 
Following in my passion for bird watching, I'm also a trainee bird bander, amateur photographer, and aviculturist specialising in finches and button quail.

The other Auhor/admin on this blog is Simon Gorta. I expect he'll chip in with a quick history of himself soon. He lives in Sydney, and despite living in different cities, the passion for birds keeps us connected, and whenever we're in each others towns we meet up and do some birding. We met last year through a young birders facebook page, which also includes Josh and Max from the "for the love of birds" blog, from which we drew the inspiration to make our own. 

The blogs' name was a mixture of my suggestion of "two in the bush", which is the title of one of my favourite books by the great naturalist Gerald Durrell. Simon suggested we also include the (bird related) saying of "a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush". So if anyone was wondering, that's where it came from :)

This blog will be about our respective birdy outings, sightings, trips and ticks. Enjoy!
