Around the World with 1000 Birds

Russell Boyman

A mid-life crisis can lead to many things - searching for 1000 birds was Russell's thing. He risked all to live his dream, experiencing TV wildlife documentaries for real. Russell's journey shows that a different life can be just around the corner - it is just a case of taking the first step.

Now any serious birder knows that trying to see 1000 birds in six months is not especially impressive. But Russell takes us to some of the worlds most far-flung places, home to a fantastic variety of birds from the Double-Crested Cormorant in British Columbia to the Bokmakierie in Cape Town.

And when the first thing Russell writes in his diary is ‘Why can’t I do anything right?’ you can be sure that there is never a dull moment in this light-hearted account of an adventurous birder.
