Description

Everything you wanted to know about bird watching but didn’t know who to ask (in a convenient A-Z format).

Anoraks to Zitting Cisticola is a guide to the secret world of birdwatching. It has all the stuff the real guides don’t tell you: how to look cool in binoculars, how not to get stuck with a bird bore, how to start your own bird list, what not to wear, whether birds have penises and so on. Using an alphabetic template, it’s an insight into the language, behaviour, haunts and habits of both birders and birds. Ranging far and wide, Sean covers birdwatching from the perspective of environmental issues, politics, literature, sociology and ornithology, all with a deft touch that both informs and entertains.

So whether it’s A for Anoraks, P for Parabolic Grot, S for Shakespeare (Romeo and Juliet contains the first argument over bird identification ever recorded) or G for Gonads, this A-Z is a must for the amateur, the wannabe or fanatical birdwatcher. And it’s guaranteed to keep even the most casual bird nerd amused.
