Description

The motivational story of David Lindo's experiences with birding in the city

Anyone can become an Urban Birder. You can do it anywhere and any time, whether you've got the day to spare, on your way to work, during your lunch break or just looking out of a window. Look up and you will see.

The book is an inspirational look at the birdlife in our cities, or more accurately, the author David's personal journey of discovery involving encounters with racism, air rifle-toting youths, girls, alcohol, music, finding urban wildlife oases and of course, birds.

About the Author

David Lindo is the Urban Birder.

He was brought up in London and has been a birder all his life. His first book, The Urban Birder, chronicled his transformation from baby birder to fully-fledged superstar of the urban birding world.

Stephen Moss is a BBC television producer and journalist, who works mainly on Bill Oddie's wildlife programmes. He has written several books including Understanding Bird Behaviour - a Birdwatchers' Guide (New Holland) and Attracting Birds to Your Garden (New Holland).
