Twitching Times: A UK Birding Life
“Anything about?” The standard greeting between birders, a phrase that goes back to the ark. In answer to the question, yes, there is, quite a lot really. Twitching Times recounts just how good the birding was in the UK and passes comment on the changing twitching scene. Between 1981 and 2003 Mark Dennis birded, twitched in the UK. You may even have stood next to him at the Scilly Common Yellowthroat, or looked through his scope at the Cowden Blue-cheeked Bee-eater. Was that you standing quietly ignoring him at Spurn when the male Rock Thrush showed so well in 1984? Read on to find out.

A romp through some of the high-points of the 90's birding scene with a well known birder of the time (now decamped to Canada)
If you remember the birds...the Cedar Waxwing, the Pacific Swift, The Snowy Egret etc etc (substitute your own personal highlights) or appreciate his insights into the Notts birding scene...its a blast! I just hope he's got himself a better car these days!
