Status Updates From Bird Watching Watching: One...

Finishing it today. It’s not football, yet I am lightly rooting for Alex to win (spoiler; it’s looking good).

This man’s interests are interestingly quirky. The football-talk is nice, but I am disappointed in the mention of Holland vs Argentina. Both because of the reminder and the usage of the word Holland.

Masculinity is a funny thing. This is a book about birdwatching, yet the little bits about how this man struggles with how to say goodbye to his family amuse me the most.

This won’t sound very progressive of me, but I thought men don’t overthink things so much. Perhaps there’s no space for it or maybe there are more important things to be thought about. Yet this book proves me wrong again and again.

There this bit where Alex is struggling a bit with his (lack of) masculinity and tbh, i'm happy it made it into the book.

i like birds. i like this man's work. i have read Word Watching Watching, so i have an idea of what i'm about to experience. this'll be a smooth rollercoaster with some nice looping loops.
