It always amazes me how far reaching my blog ventures in the Big World out there. Last time I checked I have readers from over 120 countries. That’s impressive, and not  little humbling.

I also get many requests regarding birds and birding, including:

• help with identifying birds
• care of injured or orphaned birds
• where to see birds
• guest speaking engagements (I’ll go anywhere – just provide the airline ticket please; I have a current passport)
• requests to use my photos

The last one is interesting. I’ve have many requests for the use of my photos, including:

• illustrations for school projects
• features in newspapers
• use in magazines
• illustration in pamphlets and posters

And now I’ve been asked if a publisher of children’s books in LITHUANIA can use the photo below of an Australian Magpie in a children’s book about magpies of the world. (Note: this species is not a true magpie).

Amazing where my photos find themselves!
