5.0 out of 5 stars Oddie is Hilarious!, 10 Jul 2006

By	J. Older's Ma "Ethel Older" - See all my reviews

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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing, 26 Dec 2005

By	"timmyjones1234" - See all my reviews

Just got this book for Christmas and it was very good read it already very good Bill tells us about birding adventures across the world but mainly Britain from finding a Pallas's Bunting on Shetland to watching 50 scissor tailed flycatchers in America this is is very good would recommend to everyone who is a Bill Oddie fan

4.0 out of 5 stars Humourous Birding Tales.., 26 Aug 2009

By	KRWS (Johannesburg, South Africa) - See all my reviews

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!
