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.
