9. Arrivals and Rivals; A birding oddity Adrian Riley
I have recently finished the book by Dan Koeppel about his father chasing all over the world to see about 8200 birds so far!!!! Quite an enjoyable read a bit boring in the first few chapters discussing his background and where he came from but then it gets more interesting. I have yet to read Arrivals and Rivals but will start tonight.
I dont think that I would be that obsessive, even though my dream in the future is to spend a year trying to photograph as many species as I can in a year.
Today I went on a First Aid Course which was quite interesting, however no time for birding :-( Now my wife is accusing me of spending too much time on computer and not allowing the children on it so will be back tommorrow.
