Hiya Everyone.
Happy New Year to all you wonderful Sunshine People.
Now every week I hope to be able to show you a Green Birder from somewhere in this beautiful if troubled world.
First in this series is a remarkable young man, Joseph Lionceau of Rwanda.
Seeing a photograph of Joseph with his fellow African Green Birders, sitting on their bikes a few years ago, inspired me to want to go to Rwanda.
This I did last year, spending the whole of November there. More details about that Biking Birder adventure will be forthcoming but first let's meet Joseph.
Here is what he says about himself on eBird . . .
I'm Joseph Desire DUFITUMUKIZA(Lionceau), a keen Youth birder in Rwanda, interested in ornithology and passionate to participate development of conservation of wildlife, I started birding since 2013 in high School, late I get chance to attend various birding trainings for Local Advanced Bird Guide in Rwanda and Site Bird Guide in Kivu Belt Region along The Congo Nile Trail. I have inspired a lot for conservation and wildlife photography. I am Representative of Rwanda Youth Birders and facilitator of local clubs, Rugezi Birdwatching Club and MIPC Birding Club.

It is so inspirational to see how other birders make a difference in different countries and how birding unifies us all.
