A man Birding in Edinburgh

Your Guide

Hi! My name is Agana Agana, a.k.a The Nimble Birder. I began in 2009 as an undergraduate zoology student in Ghana, West Africa. Since moving to Edinburgh and transitioning to the digital humanities, I have remained fully immersed in enjoying and sharing my passion for conservation biology and the natural world.

I’d love to show you the birds and wildlife of Edinburgh and the rest of the Lothians!
