Twitching by numbers: Twenty-four years of chasing rare birds around Britain and Ireland

Original edition (see note below).

The story starts in 1999 just after my 32nd Birthday and I've just ended my 18-year love affair with watching private jets around the world.

I met an individual at work who introduced me into his hardcore world of Birdwatching called "Twitching".

The hobby takes over my life and I end up leaving my first wife, with the house and as I find myself living back with my mum.

The book takes you through the various twitching adventures in the British Isles and aspects of my private life.

During the story I get selected for a BBC documentary called "Twitchers: A very British Obsession" and formed a successful WhatsApp group called "Casual Twitchers".

Note

This was my first book and I didn't expect to get complaints about my single life between 2000 to 2002 (Chapter 2 to 4). I decided to remove the offending passages and rewrite these early years and republish as "Twitching by numbers: A birder's hectic life as he chases rare species across Britain and Ireland".

Some people carried on buying the original edition from Amazon as the marketplace stays open for returns forever. I cannot change this situation and decided to allow both editions to remain on sale. I prefer the latest edition. It's more appropriate for a younger audience or women to read. The sections rewritten/removed don't harm the flow of the story one bit.

To prevent confusion over editions, I've priced the first edition at 24.93 and revised edition at 18.95

Whichever one you buy, I hope you enjoy my twenty four year life story.
