A deep-dive bird quiz drawn from three decades of BirdFair competition

Built from 30 years of questions used in the Bird Brain of Britain contest at the British Birdwatching Fair, this quiz collection turns ornithological knowledge into a broad-ranging challenge. Its format reflects the contest’s mix of specialist subjects and general bird knowledge, bringing together questions that range from apparently straightforward to deliberately baffling. The emphasis is on the variety and occasional oddity of bird facts, with answers designed to show why a simple question may be more complicated than it first appears—or why a difficult-looking one has a direct explanation. With more than 2,400 questions, it is structured for sustained self-testing, informal competitions, or dipping into individual rounds of avian trivia.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Birders who want to test and extend their ornithological knowledge
  • Quiz enthusiasts interested in nature and wildlife trivia
  • Birdwatching groups seeking material for friendly challenges

Book overview

An ornithological quiz book packed with challenging questions for birders, based on the popular 'Bird Brain of Britain' contest at the annual BirdFair.

The British Birdwatching Fair, held every August at Rutland Water Nature Reserve, attracts over 30,000 visitors every year. One of the most popular attractions in the events marquee is the 'Bird Brain of Britain' contest. Each of the four contestants must answer a set of questions on their nominated specialist subject, and a second set on general (ornithological) knowledge. The participants have included popular presenters and experts throughout the years, including Stephen Moss, Chris Harbard, Mark Andrews, Nigel Redman, Mike Dilger and David Lindo, among many others.

The book will feature the questions asked in the contest over its 30-year lifespan. Many seemingly simple questions turn out to have complex answers, and some that seem difficult have a very simple explanation. The questions are difficult and varied enough to test any birder's knowledge, and will provide many hours of challenging entertainment. Be they trivial, idiosyncratic, baffling or strange, the varied bird trivia included makes this compilation as entertaining and enlightening as it is educational.
