Kai Pflug has been living in Shanghai for 20 years. He only became interested in birds in China – so he is much more familiar with birds in China than with those in Germany. While he will only ever be an average birder, he aims to be a good bird photographer and has created a
website with bird photos as proof. He hopes not too many clients of his consulting company read this blog, as they will doubt his dedication to providing consulting services related to China`s chemical industry. Whenever he wants to shock other birders, he tells them his (indoor) cats can distinguish several warblers by taste.
I can attest to a certain degree of fame that came with blogging for 10,000 Birds: if you enter “What is bird poop” into the Google search engine, my post on precisely that topic can be found on page one of the search results (towards the bottom). And another one of my posts in cited as a source on the wikipedia page of the Greater Rhea.
So yes: imortality unlocked. 😀
And if I did it, so can you!
Kai, I have been enjoying the contributions of all your European friends very much. Obviously, those of us in the Americas need to get cracking again. But it has been great getting a more balanced perspective on the site.
