    Yorkshire - Best Birdwatching sites by Neil Glenn & John Miles

    Published by Buckingham Press Ltd, 340 pages, paperback, Price £19.95 I was the co author of this book but asked to do it back in 2010 after my 'Solway' book in the same series [I was offered Lancashire which I refused}. Neil had been offered it but I was asked in 2016 to finish the areas not yet covered. Coming from Yorkshire it is great to get your name on a Yorkshire book!!

    The Scottish Bothy Bible by Geoff Alan

    Published by Wild Things paperback 304 pages Price £16.99 This is a book for the adventurer wanting to know they have a safe place to spend the night in some remote glen. But it also caters for someone like me who wants an excuse to walk out a bothy and return the same day. This I Did on 2 of these mentioned in the book. One on the west coast and another in Speyside. The difference being I was working out if by judging the habitat that they would be useful to gain wildlife sightings and these 2 were! I travel to Speyside each year to give a lecture and a guided walk to a group of bird watchers. While there I love to explore the area and so in 2017 I walked out to Ryvoan Bothy via the Caledon
