The sports editor of "The Times",London, has a beleive that birdwatching starts , simply , with a habit of looking . You let birds into your life little at a time.And if you share your looking & listening with other people , so much the better.
As Barnes points out , you actually know more birds than you think you do.Drawing heavily on writers from Woody Allen to John Keats , Barnes recounts his favourite birdwatching adventure from England to Asia.
According to Barnes ,"We are attracted to birdwatching because we secretly nurture a dream to fly in our subconscious mind & that is the best one of all other dreams.
He manages to make an obsessive theme into a soothing read , taking out all erudition & infusing a lot of fun in the hobby.
His novel , approaching to ornithology , will give other's confidence to get pleasure from cheapest & most rewarding persuit . Despite his free-wheeling approach , we get glimpes his expertive on wildlife, conservation & travel.
This is a refreshingly irreverent & enjoyable book for all those who love staring out of windows
