Miscellany

Leftovers…

The following sites are only here because I cannot think of anywhere else to put them… they are the miscellany or pot pouri of birding websites.

Some are spoof sites which are deliberately humourous, others just odd.

I have also read a number of novels on a bird or birding theme that are well worth a look but not appropriate for other pages… have fun with them too.

Just to demonstrate that birders will twitch anything! Here is a list of UK beers with birding connections from a  thread on a now defunct forum:
