Keith Betton and I signed a lot of copies of our book at the Bird Fair over the weekend. We also did a little turn in the Authors’ Forum where we talked about the book but also talked to two of the interviewees in the book – DIM Wallace and Debbie Pain. It was a session right at the end of Saturday, and in ‘competition’ with Simon King (no contest) so the tent was not completely full but it was an enjoyable chat. Birders (sorry Ian – he hates the term) are such good fun.
Sunday morning saw a good mention of the book in Stuart Winter’s Sunday Express ‘Birdman’ column where he writes ‘If you are looking for a treatise on the private life of the birder then take a peek at the supremely entertaining and highly informative Behind the Binoculars‘.

I’ve had great fun chasing some of the subjects of the individual chapters and getting them to sign their entries. A cheeky way of getting to talk to a ‘celebrity’!! Unfortunately have missed out on Keith so far for the front page. Will probably have to carry the book around for a couple of years yet to get some others.
