Breaking Through The Ranks
Women in birding In southern Africa, birding has historically been dominated by men and a glance at the Top 50 listers in the subregion quickly confirms this. In the USA, there are many women birders, but there too they seem to be poorly represented in the top rankings. Locally, however, a sea change is occurring. Recent years have seen increasing numbers of female birders of all ages participating at big twitches and attending bird fairs. There are also plenty of women who bird simply for the sheer enjoyment of it, where the appreciation of birds and all things birding is more important than garnering another tick. A growing number of women with excellent birding skills are rising through the local listing ranks. Martin Benadie spoke to a few of those who are close to reaching the benchmark of 900 species seen in the subregion. Their achievements will hopefully inspire more women to become front-runners in this field, whether in management positions in birding organisations, in research and conservation or as list leaders.
