This book is pure serotonin, and I am genuinely sorry that I’ve finished it, because many times I’ve come to it feeling a bit down and two paragraphs in, I feel like myself again. Birds have been with me my entire life - from the colourful weaver birds on the banks of the Nile in Sudan to the magpies of Newcastle, from the roosting peregrine falcons near my parents' house in Northampton to the white-tailed eagles on the west coast of Scotland. Ardnamurchan based wildlife cameraman and presenter Hamza Yassin recounts stories of his birdwatching adventures and shares tips and tricks in this beautifully illustrated guide for beginning birders. Starting with the goldfinch in your garden, to tawny owls in woodlands, to the elusive kingfisher near rivers and marshes, you will build your birdwatching confidence and push yourself further afield to find new feathered wonders.
