avian collective


One of the sorrows of being an adult is that life no longer affords the opportunities found in childhood for collecting small animal-shaped objects along the lines of Sylvanians, puppies in my pocket, beanie babies, my little ponies etc. etc. Etc. (Although NB, t.w.w. NEVER liked my little ponies. They are lame.)

The RSBP bird badge collection is therefore a cause for unrestrained joy and celebration. For the RSPB has made not one, not two, not three, not four but CIRCA SEVENTY* different bird badges for your wearing and collecting pleasure. (We will draw a swift veil over its non-bird range, which features butterflies and red squirrels.) Above you will see a selection comprising (clockwise from top right): brent goose, lapwing, chaffich, pied wagtail, bluetit.

As if any further incentive were needed, each badge costs only one pound and of course all profits go to an extremely worthy cause.

(RSPB, if you are reading this and would like to donate the entire collection of your badges as a thank you for all this free advertising, please contact t.w.w. headquarters.)

* This is a total guess.
