Yes, it is a terrific book .... and yes, I know it falls apart quite a lot ( the hardback is much better) but I have recently got the said hardback version of it ...much better.
BUT ..... there is an interesting flaw within it. Have you ever checked the ever-growing number of species each team has spotted ? Well folks. I have. Try tallying them yourself and you will see what happens as the totals increase. That should keep you busy for a while . Hey-up ... TSO is summoning me downstairs and we're going into town. Woo !!

Here's the ideal bedtime reading ... 34 short-ish articles about 34 different birdy places ...such as Minsmere, Cley, St.Agnes, Slimbridge, Central Park New York ...plus lots of smashing drawings. 184 terrific pages of top birding stuff. You'll love it. Maybe some of my readers might be able to recommend other similar bed-time birding books . Now is the time of year when the summer birds bog off back to wherever they came from ..... but now there's a fair old wait for the winter ones to turn up ..... which is not very good .. and I don't like it. Who does ??
Well, you can lengthen your spotting season by following them down south until you bang into the channel. Or you can get all your birdspottingbooks and read them assiduously . ( Right now 11 Pinkfeet have flown over the house. ) Being old and knackered I truly really want to see some Waxwings this winter. And Redwings.....but another right swizz is all the well-off birders can whizz of to warmer climes. As u awl no, my compewter is very erratic. The Significant Otter ( TSO) has got a swish one of her own, but she won't let me go anywhere near it. I've got a topping thing to write about next time the compewter works which might take the lid off a right dodgy birding scandal . |
