Bill Bailey's Remarkable Guide to British Birds

Product Information

ilmselgelt raamatu valisin lindude, mitte autori pärast, aga eks mind ahvatles küll veidi idee linnumäärajast, mille on kirjutanud niisama linnuhuviline, mitte ornitoloog. When watching Bill perform live I’ve always thought he was very birdlike, he always seems wide-eyed and a bit twitchy. 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 Country. Bailey wonders what the outcome would be if a mute swan challenged 1,400 wrens to a tug of war, and then courteously sketches the result.

A visual feast – it is packed with illustrations, sketches and notes by Bailey – as well as informative, it is funny and insightful, and positively crackles with energy, knowledge and wit as he takes us on a journey around the British isles, zooming in on those birds that enthuse him the most.Alongside music and stand-up, one of Bailey's favorite pastimes is birdwatching, which he has been doing since he was a child in the West Country.
