Farewell to a friend

Leave a comment

Andrew de Blocq, former
penguinologist and Avitourism
Project Manager at BirdLife
South Africa, has left the nest
after six years. We asked
him about the highlights and
challenges, what’s new on his
horizon and why New Zealand
police officers make the best
birders.

You can help!
