Saving the Stone Curlew by Keith Betton

Keith Betton is a media trainer, PR consultant, writer and occasional broadcaster. He is a keen world birder, having seen nearly 9000 species in over 100 countries, so he is one of the world’s top 40 birders of all time. He has a particular passion for Africa and is Vice President of the African Bird Club. In the UK, he is heavily involved in bird monitoring in Hampshire, where he is Chair of the Hampshire Ornithological Society. He has been a Council Member of both the RSPB and BTO, and Vice President of the latter. His two books (with Mark Avery), “Behind the Binoculars” and “Behind More Binoculars”, have been highly rated, as has his revision of “Where to Watch Birds in Dorset, Hampshire and the Isle of Wight”. He is particularly active in protecting Peregrines and Stone Curlews, and that has put him on BBC TV’s Springwatch.

He has recently been appointed as an LNHS Honorary Vice President.
