BUT

How many members of RSPB are birders? I have been led to believe thatmany members are members to enable them to access reserves. membersget free or cheap admission and other pay dearly. i know of at leasttwo members who are generally interested in birds and nature but arenot birders.


Hope this doesn't muck up your maths.

There is an oft-quoted stat that on every international flighttaking off
from Heathrow there are on average four birdwatchers. I was wondering
whether anyone had a source for this stat.


number of RSPB members = 1000000
UK population = 60000000
estimated passengers/plane = 240
240*1000000/60000000 -> 4
