Pins & Badges
Many birders are so obsessed with their hobby that they collect all sorts of things connected to their love of birds. Fatbirder is no exception… my home is full of bird art; paintings, nicknacks and so forth. I also festoon my birding apparel with badges and pins.
Indeed collecting such pins and badges extends beyond the birding world to other people into ‘faleristics’; the collecting of metal pins and badges. This began as exclusively military medals and cap badges etc, but now covers a wealth of civilian passtimes.

UK Birding Pins
WebsiteI now produce 2-3 designs a month featuring birds seen in the UK. Each design is produced in a limited number, with numbers lasered onto the backs of the actual pin which match up with the backing cards you receive with each pin.
