An epic tale of interest to the entire birding community. Written in an engaging style, this is not just a dry list of species but a full travelogue with cross-over appeal. The authors are skilled self-publicists. The Biggest Twitch website they set up to cover their attempt received thousands of hits per week, they had a regular column in Birdwatch magazine and have made numerous TV and radio appearances.
Ruth Miller and Alan Davies are self-confessed birding obsessives from North Wales. Alan is currently warden of the RSPB reserve at Conwy. His wife Ruth is a marketing consultant, and former Head of Trading for the RSPB. They dedicated one year of their lives to beating the birder's world record and smashing the seemingly impossible target of 4,000 species in a single calender year.
