Birdwatchingwatching by Alex Horne

Birdwatchingwatching by Alex Horne

Following their year-long quest from the author's first bird sighting at home to birding breaks in Romania, a stag-weekend spent twitching in Wales and a penguin-spotting trip to South Africa, this book presents the story of a father and son, of manliness, obsessive behaviour, families and friendship.

"Horne's observations are at once funny and fascinating" Metro (Review for 'Birdwatching' show) "Rather like a rare bird - his ostensible subject - [Horne] is a fragile delight, covering any subject with a daft, surreal charm" The Sunday Times (Review for 'Birdwatching' show) "Remarkably touching, honest and dryly witty" Time Out "Enjoyable and entertaining" -- Stephen Moss Guardian
