Organizer
Nicholas Newman is a passionate and accomplished birder whose interest in birds and their behaviour was inspired by his father’s work in the field. At the helm of the Newman family business , Nick is committed to growing the community of birders via Kenneth Newman’s iconic stable of well-loved birding reference tools. With the mission to get more people into birding, Nicholas has recently launched Newman’s latest title Birds By Colour for the easy identification of birds. It is aimed at new & beginner birders, as well as anyone with a little more experience who struggle with bird identification. The hope of this book is to educate people on bird identification principles using colour, size shape and habitat. The book also hopes to educate people on how birds use their colour and the environmental challenges facing our beloved feathered friends.
