Synopsis

This is a lively, entertaining and informative account of the author's quest over 17 years, and before his 30th birthday, to record 500+ species of the birds found in Britain and Ireland. Complemented by his own photographs and splendid paintings and drawings, he recounts car crashes, stormy sea crossings, plane convoys and even a coastguard rescue during his travels in pursuit of avian rarities. If you thought the simple pleasure of birdwatching - now one of the fastest-growing recreational activities in the world - couldn't be described as 'extreme', you should read this book.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

James Hanlon was born in South London in December 1974, and settled in the East End in the late seventies. He grew up in East Ham, where he developed a keen interest in wildlife and was out birdwatching regularly by the age of 10. By his mid-teens he had established himself as a keen twitcher, contributing illustrations and occasionally photographs to a number of rare bird publications. He graduated from Bangor University in July 1996 with an upper second class honours degree in Zoology with Marine Zoology and a basic understanding of the Welsh language (or at least the words which accompany Welsh road signs). In 1999 James decided he would try to get his 500th bird by his 30th birthday at the end of 2004.
