Bad Birdwatcher's Companion

Simon Barnes

As an introduction to the world of birdwatching this is the true companion to How to be a Bad Birdwatcher (published in 2004) this well presented introduction to 50 of Britain's most "obvious" bird species contains many illustrations by Peter Partington.

Now also available as in Spoken Word format.

Few books are more intimidating than a conventional field guide. There are simply too many birds in them. This book introduces the reader to Britain's most obvious birds. But it does more than that: it also explains them. It explains the way that different birds do different things, eat different food, sing different songs and live different lives, and it explains why they are different. If you are a would-be birdwatcher but don't know where to start, A Bad Birdwatcher's Companion is for you. It will help you understand birdwatching: but far more important, it will help you begin to understand birds. 281 pages.
