John Hague, a proud Yorkshireman now based in Leicestershire, has been birding in the UK and around the world for almost 60 years. He doesn’t remember a time when he wasn’t birding and his parents attested that he was identifying Yellowhammer, by song, as a toddler!
 
John retired from the NHS in 2024 and now works as both a tour leader and bird surveyor. He is an active member of the Leicestershire & Rutland Ornithological, editing the monthly newsletter and booking speakers for indoor meetings, and has served on the Rarities Committee.
 
John has led many trips and walks, including guiding for a BBC East Midlands Today piece on Short-eared Owls and guiding David Lindo (The Urban Birder) around Leicester’s birding hotspots. He has been a regular contributor to BBC Radio Leicester on what wildlife to see each week in the region and has written a number of articles and site guides for Birdwatch and Bird Watching magazines.
 
As well here in the UK, John has birded extensively in France, Spain and Portugal, British Columbia (Canada) and (South Island) New Zealand as well as The Canary Islands, Kenya, The Gambia, Singapore, Turkey, Israel and the Greek Islands. He has also birded some great cities including New York, Prague, Paris, Berlin and Bruges. He has also twitched Wallcreeper in Northern France and the Spectacled Eider on Texel! Even his footballing affiliations feature birds, being a long-suffering Sheffield Wednesday fan.
