RichMasson Birding

Welcome to RichMasson Birding.

I'm Richard, a retired South African bird enthusiast, photographer, videographer, and storyteller.

This channel began with my birding adventures across South Africa and Namibia, featuring birds of the Western Cape, the Overberg and Zululand.  The channel, it is now evolving to include stories about retirement, purpose, and the unexpected moments that shape our lives.

In my new series, "Forks in the Road," I wireflect on the decisions, chance encounters, and life events that changed my direction—often in ways I could never have imagined at the time.

Through birding, photography, personal reflections, and life stories, I hope to inspire others to embrace retirement as a time of discovery, growth, and new possibilities.

Whether you are a birder, retiree, nature lover, or simply someone interested in life's journey, you're welcome here.

Join me as I explore birds, retirement, purpose, and life's remarkable Forks in the Road.
