Reviews

[Amy]

My second Stephen Moss book after enjoying Wild Hare's and Hummingbirds. Not quite as good but a lovely themed collection of his Guardian birdwatch newspaper articles and great to dip in and out of. Chapter's 1 to 4 were the most enjoyable for me, maybe because I am just starting to enjoy birding myself or maybe because I'm not really interested in birding abroad and the last two chapters seemed to lack cohesion.

I'm hooked! Could do with pictures though

A wonderful chronicle of Stephen Moss's birding life - with places and birds familiar and unfamiliar
