Something from our Resources section: Sandisk 8GB Secure Digital High Capacity (SDHC)


This 8GB Secure Digital High Capacity (SDHC) Memory Card from SanDisk is a highly secure stamp-sized flash memory card, which can be used in a variety of digital products including digital music players, cellular phones, handheld PCs, digital cameras, digital video camcorders, smart phones, car navigation systems and electronic books, that conform to the SD 2.00 specification (rated Class 4 for speed and performance). The SDHC Card features a 15MB/s write speed and also contains a security feature for the protection of copyrighted data.

SDHC Compatibility Information
Because SDHC cards work differently than Standard SD cards, this card format is not backwards compatible with legacy SD format host devices. Please check your device (camera, PDA, MP3 player, etc.) for compatibility with SDHC cards

You will find six main sections to this web site. Each of these is made up of subsections.

The first is the Home section, this contains links to information and services that we hope you will find useful, from competitions to a fully integrated Google Earth based system. There is also a technology section with guides on how to use your equipment, links to the Wikipedia for each species and of course the hotspots section.

Next is our traditional Forum or Bulletin Board. There are many sub forums contained in this section, designed to help birders with various subjects, from help with difficult to identify birds through to a forum specifically for those wanting to show off their latest and greatest photographs! We have also included a dedicated section for those wanting to contribute data to the Wikipedia. This is in addition to the Wikipedia links and is intended to be used for discussion purposes. You will notice that the menu on the right contains links to the latest ten posts.

The Planner is designed to help you keep track of any birding events that you might be interested in. We would like to encourage all birding organisations to make use of this facility to help your customers keep track of your upcoming events. All birding organisations are welcome to plan their events using this tool!

Next are the Simply Birding Stores, which contain a selection of products that we hope birders will find useful. These stores are powered by Amazon and provide the perfect solution for birders to shop online for their favourite books, clothing, cameras & lenses, field guides, binoculars, spotting scopes and even navigation equipment. For your convenience we have linked up to five of the Amazon Stores from around the world, United States, United Kingdom, Germany, France and Canada.

Last but not least is the Simply Birding Resources section, which contains information on a selection of accommodation, venues, guiding services and other interesting birding related web sites that we hope birders will find useful. Birders can now share their experiences of venues, accommodation or a guide using the built in reviews. There are also quick links to randomly selected resource items in the menu on the right.


Simply Birding's philosophy is to try as much as possible to complement other organisations in the birding world. Where possible we will try to include other companies and services that are available to birders around the world, even if it's by simply including them under the resources section.

Simply Birding also strives to create a better awareness among birders and non-birders alike of the issue's surrounding bird conservation. Where possible we are also trying to encourage people to participate actively in one of the most rewarding pastimes. Included in this philosophy is to actively market avifauna in a positive light. By doing this we can all benefit. There are several conservation organisations around the world which we encourage birders to support, such as the Audubon Society, the American Birding Association, Birdlife International and many others. Please see our resources section for more details on these organisations close to you.

If you should have any queries on how to use this site, or have a question on a resource that you have seen, you are more than welcome to contact us.

Any suggestions you may have on how we can improve the site will also be very welcome!
