You have to remember that film reviewers are highly urbanised city folks who 
barely see a tree from one day to the next and whose idea of fun is parties 
full of celebrities. They are almost a different race from birdwatchers - 
certainly at the far end of some sort of scale!! 

Given the apparently huge number of people in America supposed to be interested 
in birds (did I hear 50 million quoted??) it is surprising that nobody went to 
see the film. 

Incidentally the book "The Big Year" makes good reading though it helps if you 
know a bit about American birds. In my opinion, this book and Sean's are 
streets ahead of any others in the field.

PS I have no idea if it has been shown in the UK!
