Book of the Week: How to Be a (Bad) Birdwatcher by: Simon Barnes
Can't beat a book that is both informative and funny. His no nonsense approach to birdwatching can inspire the most confused animal lover. The author is a sports writer by trade he covers the English football and American sports. He is a passionate bird watcher, the love of birds instilled in him by his equally passionate retired BBC reporter father.
His sarcasm is appreciated, I loved how he referred to birds and described his reactions to new found discoveries. Due to his very English ways his writing style is reflective of English prose. I enjoyed reading the lovely expressions and I must admit I find them much more clever than the American slang.
A wonderful informative fun quick read. If you ever wanted to begin birdwatching or were thinking about taking up this hobby then pick up this book.
