A humorous and very personal guide written by Bill Bailey about his favourite British birds, complete with drawings, notes and cartoons by the comedian himself.
''When herons are spooked they have a habit of vomiting as a defence. Half-digested pieces of eel and water vole skull on your head is not a good lookJust so you know.''
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 mostWhether 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 CountryHis 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''.
