Martin Gurdon writes about anything for money, but specializes in cars and hens. As a freelance journalist, author and editor, Martin has written regularly for the Evening Standard, The Independent, Daily Telegraph, Octane, and Classic Cars magazine, where he spent six years as a columnist. Martin shares his garden with chickens, doves and ducks and was a little surprised to discover that their lives made good copy, thanks to a massive increase in amateur chicken keeping. He wrote a regular column about the birds for the Sunday Telegraph's Life supplement, is a regular columnist and contributor to Your Chickens magazine, and blogs on the www.allotment.org.uk website.
