Bill Bailey`s Remarkable Guide to British Birds

Bill Bailey`s wonderfully charming and informative book on the birds he loves is now available as a handy, easy-to-carry pocket paperback. Packed with the comedian`s observations, illustrations and sketches, this edition is perfect for birdwatching expeditions, with new information for proper twitchers, including: * A `British Birds` checklist * A list of the best birdwatching sites in the UK * Suggestions of bird spotting equipment * Information about joining a birdwatching club Bailey takes us on a journey around the British Isles, zooming in on those birds that enthuse him the most. Whether it`s what they eat, where they fly to or how they communicate, these birds are always fascinating, and he introduces us to their weird and wonderful ways in a manner that is always entertaining. If you`re a parent who`d like to appear a bit clever when your child asks you the name of a bird; if you want to find a new and healthy hobby that takes you outdoors; or whether, quite simply, you want to understand a bit more about our natural environment and have a laugh at the same time, this is the companion book to have. Funny and insightful, and positively crackling with energy, knowledge and wit, this beautiful paperback will delight Bailey`s fans, birds as well as those who fancy a bit of armchair escapism. Alongside music and stand-up, one of Bailey`s favourite pastimes is birdwatching, which he has been doing since he was a child in the West Country. His fondest memories are of family outings with parents, grandparents and cousins, ticking the birds off in his little Observer`s Book of Birds. As he has said about those formative years, `birdwatching gave a purpose to the day and a love of the natural world which has carried on into my adult life`.
