Birdwatching with Your Eyes Closed by Simon Barnes

Birdwatching with Your Eyes Closed by Simon Barnes

This vital book - which comes with a free podcast so that you can listen to the songs themselves - takes you from winter into deepest spring, teaching you to how recognise song after song as the chorus swells. You start with robin, and end up listening to nightingales.

"Barnes is a unique voice, always willing to challenge conventional wisdom and look for deeper meanings.." Sunday Telegraph Most of us can see, but not everyone looks. Most of us can hear, but not everyone listens. This book will help you do both. And, above all, it will tell you how to enjoy. --Bill Oddie "A gem... All day, I've been fighting the urge to drop everything so I can devour this eloquent book in one siting... exquisite" --The Guardian "He'll tune your ears to winter's lonely voices - robins, wrens, long-tailed tits - before preparing you for the exultant sounds of spring" --The Times "Become a bird listener, says Barnes, and tune in to the special podcast of airborne song that comes free with this book, and you will better understand the lives of birds and identify the wild notes that first inspired human music. A delight." -- Iain Finlayson, Saga
