No, not the book of The Biggest Twitch yet, though we’re still cracking on with that and have been discussing front cover designs with our publisher, so watch this space.But ‘Birds, Boots and Butties’ has arrived! This is a series of books that Ruth has written on the best places in North Wales to go for a walk, watch birds and enjoy a great cup of tea. The first two books on Anglesey and Conwy/Eastern Snowdonia have just been published and Ruth hopes to extend the series next with a third book on the Lleyn
Peninsula and mid-Wales.As you can imagine, these books were a lot of fun to produce, and all the walks, and of course the cafes, were thoroughly tested to make sure they came up to scratch. Not only did the walks have to be easy to follow, the birding had to be good, and the tea and cakes afterwards tasty enough to make it into the book. What a great excuse to get out with the binoculars!The books are full of great colour photos, the outstanding bird images being provided by professional photographer, Steve Young, while Ruth took the landscape shots out walking to show just how stunning the countryside is around here. Each walk has a step-by-step guide to the route, with details of the particular birding locations, and what species to look out for at different times of the year.If you would like to buy an individually signed copy at £6.50 per book plus £1.50 postage and packing, please email us on info@thebiggesttwitch.com and we’ll be happy to send you one! As a special deal, if you buy both books, the postage and packing is still only £1.50. Please make cheques payable to ‘Ruth Miller’.
