African Young Birder of the Week - 19 January 2024

We are proud to announce our next African Young Birder of the week for 2024.


This feature aims to showcase content from each of the featured birders, allowing us to celebrate young birding talent across the continent. Please share this post to spread the word about these amazing birders!


This feature is always done in proud collaboration with Young Wildlife Photographers of Southern Africa.



This week's Young Birder of the Week is Tyler Wood.


We asked him 6 questions to get to know him better.


Where are you from? Johannesburg, South Africa


How old are you? 12 years old


How long have you been birding? Always, but not very intense but started ‘proper’ birding in January.


Do you keep a life list? Yes, I do and it’s on 324.


What's your favorite bird/s? I don't have one, there are way too many birds to choose from.


What makes birding so awesome? Being in the outdoors and spending time with amazing people doing things that I love.
