More Birds Than Bullets: My Life with Birds
by Geoffrey McMullan
From Pathfinder UK:
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to combine your interests with your career? Serving in the British Army has allowed the author to follow his innate passion for birds and interest in travel which has taken in to place he could only have dreams about. The stories are based on his experiences with birds, people and places all over the world, both in and out of the army.
This is a very different sort of birding memoir. To be honest, I hadn’t made it very far into the book when I put it down for a while; I wasn’t too sure about it. But in picking it back up today and reading a little more about it elsewhere, I think I may have been premature. I’m going to give it another chance.
[Update] I did give this book another chance and am glad that I did. It would still greatly benefit from some editing, but the stories are great and unique – certainly unlike anything else I’ve read. It’s worth a read.

Hi
I hope you’re well.
I was wondering how you got on with the book after picking it up again?
Geoffrey – I am glad that I picked it back up. I posted an update on Facebook and Twitter, but forgot to update this post. I’ll fix that.
