Bird in the Bush
Stephen Moss
A social history of birdwatching.This is the first book to trace the history and development of this singular pastime, on both sides of the Atlantic, all the way from Gilbert White, author of The Natural History of Selborne in the eighteenth century, through the British servicemen who studied black redstarts from their POW camp, to today's driven twitchers who will go to great lengths to see a single species.
"This book is well researched, full of interesting quotes, references and facts...an excellent read and will appeal to all birdwatchers."
- Dawn Balmer, BTO Demography Unit
