Eric Begbie was born and educated in Edinburgh and spent his formative years on the foreshores of East Lothian. His interest in wildfowling stemmed from a boyhood passion for bird-watching and he is one of Britain's prime advocates of the essential link between sporting shooting and wildlife conservation.
Since retiring from a professional career in local government, he now runs am internet website design agency, a training agency and he has designed a number of psychometric tests for management training purposes. He does, however, now have much more time for his countryside interests - particularly wildfowling, game shooting, fishing and conservation activities.
He has travelled extensively and hunted and fished in the USA, Canada, Alaska and Scandinavia. Eric Begbie has held office in his local fowling club, the Eden Wildfowlers Association for over 25 years and has sat on a number of committees of the British Association for Shooting and Conservation. He urges all wildfowlers to become members of this national organisation.
His books include:
"Modern Wildfowling", 1980 and 1990
"The Sportsman's Companion", 1981
"Fowler in the Wild", 1987
"The New Wildfowler" (Ed.) 1989
He has written several thousand magazine articles for the British
sporting press and, for a number of years, contributed the
"Nature Man" column to the "Sunday Post" - a
newspaper which reputedly reaches a higher proportion of its
potential readership than any other paper in the world except
"Pravda"!
He is the editor of Britain's "Wildfowling Magazine" (which is still published online) and he has written the hugely successful "Gundog Training Broadsheets" that have been used by thousands of amateur gundog trainers.
