Product Description

Product Description

Here are more than 60 of Bill Oddie's tales 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 Oddie's regular monthly column in Birdwatch magazine and cover such diverse subjects as bird racing in Hong Kong and a birder's dietary requirements. The stories appear in their original form and are complemented by Oddie's own drawings.

5.0 out of 5 stars Oddie is Hilarious!, 10 July 2006
This review is from: Bill Oddie's Gripping Yarns: Tales of Birds and Birding (Miscellaneous) (Paperback)
As a lifelong birder, I have my share of humourous tales to recount, but Oddie does so with such style and panache! I recommend this book to the birder and non-birder alike, as the humour is Pythonesque at times!

4.0 out of 5 stars Humourous Birding Tales.., 26 Aug 2009
By 
KRWS (Johannesburg, South Africa) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bill Oddie's Gripping Yarns: Tales of Birds and Birding (Miscellaneous) (Paperback)
A collection of light and funny birding tales, mainly centred around the UK.

Easy to read, and entertaing - if you dip in and out. Trying to read everything in one go, is a little repetitive!

Nevertheless wothwhile for birders!
