Thank you so much for sending me this book! I'm about to start a local birdwatching class, so this book came just in time!
UPDATE: This book seemed to be more like the author's autobiography. It does, however, have good tips for the beginner birdwatchers.

If you aren't familiar with Bookcrossing, take a few minutes to check out this very cool site. Bookcrossers LOVE books, and more than anything, they love to read books and then set them free for other people to find and enjoy. I would love it if you would leave a journal entry -- you can say where you found the book or how you liked it when you read it.

Picked up at a London Book meetup as it looks like a light read

I quite enjoyed this book and it fits with the book I finished last, which was a gardening book, however it was a trifle slow. I have however ordered a cheap pair of second hand binoculars as that does seem like a good idea for many reasons. I did find him confusing at times with where he actually was referring to.
I did like his last chapter with his description of birds and animals that had come back from near extinction because of public opinion and pressure.
I don't quite have the same enthusiasm that the author has about birds, although I do enjoy watching them in the garden.

I picked this up at today's meetup, and it's coming with me back to Oslo, Norway.

Just a note that ellamiss would like to read this when I'm done.

Such a fun and quirky read. If I'm any bird watcher at all, I sure am a bad one! ;-)

Sent off to ellamiss by mail.

Thank you!
This looks like something I might enjoy reading.

I enjoyed this book. It was a little slow in the beginning but picked up. Since I'm a bad birdwatcher myself, Barnes' information level was spot on for me.

An easy read but I realised after I had finished that I could hardly remember anything of what I had read...

Fly away little birdies!

The birdies have landed.
