It is a barely self-centered submit – much less about birds and extra in regards to the 10,000 Birds web site. You’ve got been warned.
The location counts about 1000 distinctive classes per day – within the final 30 days, on common 1006, to be precise – some days 100 extra, generally 100 fewer.

China and Germany account for the biggest variety of guests from non-English-speaking international locations, although the Netherlands considerably punches above its weight (regardless of or maybe due to the horrible photographs Peter sometimes provides to his posts).
And naturally, there are guests from many different international locations – 181 in whole, together with 3 visits from Syria throughout the final month (one would assume they’ve extra vital issues to do in the mean time, however I’m not complaining).
At the moment, we publish one or two new posts per day – however that’s nothing in comparison with the archives of 10,000 Birds, which by now maintain greater than 10,000 posts (we in all probability ought to have had some form of celebration when reaching the quantity 10,000, however we forgot).

Then, there’s a lengthy tail of nations with one author every: Canada, China, Gibraltar, Mexico, The Netherlands, Panama, Serbia, and Trinidad&Tobago. 5 are feminine and 14 are male, a ratio in all probability not so totally different from that amongst birders.
