The Birding For All Team

Meet the Birding For All team below.

Brian Anderson – RIP

Brian Anderson (1938-2025) was an avid birdwatcher for fifty years. He was a full-time wheelchair user for nearly eight decades.  A retired accountant at BP, he became treasurer of Birding For All the day it was founded as he was always keen to enable improved access to bird reserves and other nature areas, not only in the UK but around the world. He circumnavigated the globe with Birding For All and enjoyed the experience immensely. You will be sorely missed.

Bo Beolens – Founder & Chair

Bo Beolens founded and chairs Birding For All. Hi is known more widely as the Fatbirder for his web presence, as the Grumpy Old Birder for his monthly column in a birding magazine and for his eight books such as the Eponym Dictionary of Birds and, A~Z of Birds. He has had a form of arthritis for over half a century – so he combined self-interest and a passionate belief that everyone should have equal opportunity when he founded BFA.
