Some species are worth traveling thousands of miles for. The Letter-winged Kite is one of Australia's most sought-after birding sightings. 👀

What happens when women create their own space in the birding world?
For Anna Schneider, it started with a simple observation: the birding scene didn’t always feel particularly accessible to women, especially young women and newcomers.
So instead of waiting for that to change, she and a friend created something themselves.
In 2015, De Duifkes was born.
A group for women, with or without previous birding experience. A place to ask questions, share knowledge, laugh together, and explore nature without feeling like you have to prove yourself.

Some birding days are planned. Others are completely spontaneous. The AT Endura is built to support both. Comfortable, versatile, and designed for extended observation, it helps birders stay focused on what matters most: the birds.

Small footprint. Big discoveries. 🐦
The ability to observe wildlife without disturbance is essential for understanding and protecting it. That's why we are proud to support Wings of Survival with the compact CL Companion.
Whether scanning coastal habitats for migrating shorebirds or documenting key species along the route, lightweight optics help the team stay connected to nature throughout their demanding ride. Every observation contributes to a broader conversation about biodiversity and conservation.

Congratulations to the team for reaching another important chapter of their journey. 🚲

Birding isn’t just about knowing the names of birds.
For Anna Schneider, it’s also about creating a space where women can feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes, and simply being curious.
That’s the spirit behind Dé Duifkes, the female birding community she founded in Antwerp in 2015.
No need to prove how many species you know.
No need to be the loudest voice in the group.
No need to be an expert.

Because sometimes the most important thing you discover while birding isn’t a new species, it’s a community. 💚

What if you didn’t grow up with birds but one day discovered a whole new world outside your window?
That’s how Anna Schneider’s journey into birding began. A city girl with a background in animation,
Anna discovered Belgium’s forests and wetlands in her early twenties. The more she learned, the more she wanted to share that feeling of discovery with others.
In 2015, she founded De Duifkes, a birding and nature group for women with a simple idea: go outside together, learn from each other, ask questions, make mistakes, and above all, have fun.

The Global Birding GBW SWAROVSKI OPTIK Women’s Team is about much more than counting birds. It is about women across the world coming together, sharing their passion and knowledge, contributing to citizen science and inspiring others to connect more deeply with nature.

Following October Big Day, we want to celebrate the women behind this growing community and the impact they can have far beyond a single day of birding.
We’re therefore delighted to introduce Michelle Risi as an Ambassador of the GBW SWAROVSKI OPTIK Women’s Team.

As a seabird field biologist, Michelle combines a fascination for birds with scientific curiosity, adventure and a desire to inspire other women to follow their own paths in birding and conservation.
Over to Michelle to tell us why this community, and the connection between birding and conservation, matters to her:
I'm a seabird field biologist, currently pursuing a PhD in a field that has historically been dominated by men. I love being part of the global women's birding team and connecting with women around the world who share a passion for birds and nature.
I never imagined I'd be in the position I am today, getting to work with seabirds in some of the most remote and extraordinary places on Earth. I hope that by sharing photos and stories from my time in the field, I can inspire other women to pursue similar adventures and careers in conservation.

Birding also seems to be having a bit of a moment, which is wonderful to see! With climate change and other environmental pressures increasingly affecting birds and their habitats, I think this growing interest is more important than ever. The more people who get out, watch birds, and learn about the natural world, the more people there will be who care about protecting it.
