If you want an antidote to Bad Nature Writing, Richard Smyth's own 'An Indifference of Birds' is great, mainly because it's about birds and not about Richard Smyth having big feelings while looking at birds.

I'm just sorry it's not available, our type of 'trade' all too lacking in flow since then to justify a reprint. Richard sent the text and i was convinced immediately, and i think it was out in just a few months, multi-coloured Bewick and all. Immensely chuffed to have done it.
Ah sorry I didn't realise it was o.o.p. It's a fantastic little book.
It’s still fantastic out of print…!
