Synopsis

Anyone can become an Urban Birder. You can do it anywhere and any time, whether you've got the day to spare, on your way to work, during your lunch break or just looking out of a window. Look up and you will see. The book is an inspirational look at the birdlife in our cities, or more accurately, the author's personal journey of discovery involving encounters with racism, air rifle-toting youths, girls, alcohol, music, finding urban wildlife oases and of course, birds. David Lindo's story is entertaining and sometimes controversial, but the one guarantee is that the reader will be left feeling inspired enough to pick up a pair of binoculars and head to the nearest park.

Revue de presse :

I have now reviewed hundreds of birding books.... What is extremely rare is for me to give up my Sunday afternoon (usually my day for indulgent movie watching or slobbing in front of the telly) and read a book, cover to cover, in one sitting. But today this is exactly what I've done! --Fatbirder, August 2011

Inspirational and informative. --Margaret Atwood on Twitter

Perfectly captures his infectious and irrepressible zeal.
--BBC Wildlife Magazine, October 2011

David Lindo is the ultimate Urban Birder. This is a life affirming tale with a simple message; wherever you live, regardless of circumstances, a lifetime's fulfilment through enjoyment of the natural world is right on your doorstep.
--Wildlife Matters, Autumn Issue
