How to Be a (Bad) Birdwatcher Quotes

“I don’t go birdwatching. I am birdwatching. Birdwatching is a state of being, not an activity. It doesn’t depend on place, on equipment, on specific purpose, like, say, fishing. It is not a matter of organic trainspotting; it is about life and it is about living.”
― Simon Barnes, How to Be a Bad Birdwatcher

“I am a bad birdwatcher.

On the other hand, and taking one thing with another, when it comes to enjoying birds I am world-class.”
― Simon Barnes, How to Be a (Bad) Birdwatcher
