About the Author

Ray Tipper, ARPS, is a life-long birdwatcher who left his native Britain in 1973 and spent most of the next 22 years engaged in Hong Kong. Here, he became a trustee of WWF and was intimately involved with its renowned Mai Po Marshes Nature Reserve. It was in Hong Kong that he turned to bird photography which quickly became his major interest. He is an associate of the Royal Photographic Society and his photographs are regularly published in journals and books all over the world.

Bird photography remains his passion, yet he still retains his love of birdwatching and has led more than 100 tours for the British bird tour company, Avian Adventures, in Europe, the Americas, Africa including Madagascar and Asia. He now lives in the Algarve, Portugal where he is Chairman of the Portuguese Rarities Committee.
