Andrew Fallan recounts the highs and the lows, the trials and tribulations, of being an avid birder in a world seemingly populated by experts and high-flyers.  All those with an interest in birds and other wildlife will identify with and enjoy these engaging tales. Against the backdrop of our green and pleasant land the author examines, through his own experiences, the often spectacular beauty of our wildlife and encourages us to seek solace in the simple enjoyment of birds.
