Sue started birding over 40 years ago, including overseas trips, but her focus is now very much England (including Cornwall and Northumberland) and Scotland (especially the Islands and Highlands).
Sue says “I love combining walking and birding and my weekly walk on the South Downs allows me to indulge these interest and keep me fit!”
Sue likes lists – and these include her garden list, year list and life list! Sue says “listing gives me a purpose and a focus for my walks and I’m very competitive, always wanting to beat last years total”.
Sue joined SDOS in 2009 and became secretary a few years later. The role combines membership administration, organising speakers for the indoor talks season, and general admin, keeping the society on track.
