Reviews

[Sally · Rating 5 out of 5]

A fairly quick read but not just a series of daft (and pretty entertaining) pictures. There are some great anecdotes that will make you laugh and think more about nature. Shame the bird photos weren't in colour, given the descriptions. You're left with a warm feeling about birders, mixed with a little continuing amusement at their eccentricity. I notice one woman sneaked into the book!
