The authors’ blog gives anyone a chance to catch up on progress with the Birds and People book and also an opportunity to contribute to it. The book is a five-year project and author Mark Cocker and photographer David Tipling give regular updates on the species and subjects they are covering at the moment. The blog is also a way for anyone to participate and to make contributions on the current themes.

You can join in the discussion and contribute directly to the book, but if you have something you want to say on a subject not presently being treated, then you can also send an email to Mark Cocker or David Tipling.

Most contributions to the book will be relatively short and we suggest an upper blog limit of 300 words. Don’t forget to add your name, town or district, and country. All contributions that appear in print will be acknowledged individually.

Here are examples of some wonderful contributions already incorporated into the text of the book.

Before contibuting it is helpful if you read the introductory sections entitled Birds and People and How You Can Get Involved in the Book. You can also ask Mark Cocker or David Tipling directly by emailing your query.
