Heavyweight sports and wildlife writer @simonbarneswild is very clever and very funny. And he loves football. Perfect, in other words, for @LifeGoalsTD. Here he tells me how he fell into sports writing...

In his fascinating book ‘How To Fly’ @simonbarneswild examines all aspects of aerial life. On @LifeGoalsTD the former Chief Sports Writer on the @thetimes is equally insightful on footballers who have scaled the heights including Cruyff, Zidane and Haaland https://t.co/PLtGGJhV4c

One hundred years of Attenborough, the man who taught me what love is
I was a schoolboy when I saw 1961’s Zoo Quest to Madagascar. Its lessons haunted me – and changed my life for ever, writes @simonbarneswild

So pleased to be publishing this wonderful book by @simonbarneswild today. From bees that beat their wings 230 times per second to tree snakes that flare out their ribs to help them fly for 100 metres, there's all sorts of amazing natural solutions to achieve flight.
Great to see @simonbarneswild new book on display in @Foyles. Find out about all sorts of types of flight, including stories about painted ladies, the long-haul butterfly that I saw for the first time this year over the weekend. In 2009, 11 million arrived in the UK.
Attenborough is never the star; the star is always the stromatolite, the lemur, the gorilla, the armadillo or the bird of paradise.
