Bill Oddie's Gripping Yarns: Tales of soldes Birds and Birding by Oddie, Bill NEUF

Over 60 of Bill Oddies tales of the ups, downs, highs, lows, and thrills and spills of birding, from nefarious childhood egging to fully fledged twitching - and much more besides.

Most of the stories are taken from the last five years of Bills regular monthly column in Birdwatch magazine, and cover such diverse subjects as bird racing in Hong Kong to a birders dietary requirements.

Often cut to fit the available space in Birdwatch, the stories now appear in their original form, and are complemented by Bills own drawings.

Whatever your level of interest in birding, or even if you have no interest at all, Gripping Yarns will entertain and amuse and, who knows, may even educate!
