Well – as long as you do not ask for pay, that is! I am looking for additional writers who are interested in contributing posts covering our usual range of topics – birds, birding trips, reviews of bird books, bird photography, and so on.

While ideally, you would be willing to write regularly (i.e., weekly or biweekly), I will also be happy to accept one-off guest posts. So being afraid of commitment is not an excuse.

I am also looking for somebody who knows more about social media than me (not a high bar really) – somebody who can help me promote the site to people who never stood around a fax machine in awe.

If you are interested, please contact me at kai.pflug (at) gmail.com

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Kai

Written by Kai Pflug
Kai has lived in Shanghai for 21 years. He only started birding after moving to China, so he is far more familiar with Chinese birds than the ones back in his native Germany. As a birder, he considers himself strictly average and tries to make up for it with photography, which he shares on a separate website. Alas, most of the photos are pretty average as well.He hopes that few clients of his consulting firm—focused on China’s chemical industry—ever find this blog, as it might raise questions about his professional priorities. Much of his time is spent either editing posts for 10,000 Birds or cleaning the litter boxes of his numerous indoor cats. He occasionally considers writing a piece comparing the two activities.
