After more than six years its now time to end my birdwatching blog. For some time the number of people reading my blog has declined until a week before I decided to finish I had two views, less than a view every two days. If out of the billions of people on the internet, only two people are reading my blog in a week, its a sure sign no one's interested. This lack of interest was a sign to stop writing and end my blog, and so I arrived at the decision to finish suffolkbirdwatcher.
I have always enjoyed writing my blog, and at times it felt almost like someone was accompanying me out in the field birdwatching. The photos I took were all taken in mind with what I would put up on my blog, and I often went round those nature reserves composing what to write in my head. A great deal of thought went into the blogs, but not any longer.
And so after 433 posts and so far nearly 15,000 reads, it all comes to an end, as everything does. A lot of me has gone into these pages, a lot of effort and creativity, I have all put up there for everyone to see. And no one's particularly interested, which is fine, the blog was always a bit niche, a bit too esoteric so I wasn't expecting much popularity in the first place. But I was sure that at least someone in the entire world might be interested...but I was wrong.
Although this blog is coming to an end, I will still go out birding, I mean nothing is going to stop me doing that, but my sightings will remain private, written up in some journal, for only myself to read. And I will still be birdwatching in the glorious county of Suffolk, I mean I do still live here, and I still think its still the best county for birds, no argument.
These will be the last words ever written by me on this blog, and if you've been following me then thank you very much, and if you are a casual reader welcome to the end of my blog. All things come to an end, and, as ever, good luck, and good birding!
Sorry to see you give up Keith, I enjoyed reading your blog and would have a look most days. Good luck with the bird watching
