About Six Things
I send out a weekly email (usually on Saturdays, but you know how it is) called Six Things – things that have caught my eye, ear, nose, or that unknown sense that makes you turn round and go ‘hello, what was that? ’
In 2026 the last Six Things post of the month will be in the form of a podcast in which a guest brings six things to talk about. For the audio-averse there will also be a transcription of the chat.
As well as the weekly posts there will also be extra monthly posts in 2026 to celebrate the 10th anniversary of **Why Do Birds Suddenly Disappear? ** – my book about the year I spent trying to see 200 species of British bird. These anniversary posts will include a short monthly piece about my birding progress in 2026, comparing it with the same month in 2016.
