Publisher's Synopsis
Expert birder Dan Brown knows exactly what makes other people with an interest in birds tick - whether it is watching a single charismatic bird in flight, finding something out of the ordinary, or witnessing a true avian spectacle. In 'Great British Birding Experiences' Dan has compiled a 'Top 40' list of the very best that the country has to offer. These experiences vary, from watching huge congregations of geese or waders, spending a night in a petrel or shearwater colony, to getting up early to listen to the dawn chorus and watching sky-dancing Hen Harriers. The month-by-month calendar approach makes it easy for the reader to dip into the book and find out what the key spectacles they should be looking for are any time of year. Locator maps and a gazetteer make it easy to locate sites.
