The Three Amigos ride again !!

Welcome to the Three Amigos ride again.

This is the new blog of the Three Amigos. We are Tony, Mark and Steve, three ex-matelots who travel the world, birding, bird ringing, mothing and generally loving wildlife.

We have been running a blog since the 20th November 2008. This was previously housed on Surfbirds and for many years was a source of pleasure for the three of us as we documented our adventures in the Royal Navy and beyond. Surfbirds seems to be no longer supported, so we find ourselves in a new home, Blogger.

The first post in November 2008 was written by Steve Copsey. It concerned a trip to Keyhaven Marshes and then onto Blashford Lakes. At the time all three of the amigos were based in Hampshire but Mark has since moved on to Portland, Dorset. Here is an image of the three of us, from that post.

We have changed a bit over the years. Here are a few more...
