Bill Oddie's Gripping Yarns by Bill Oddie
Over 60 of Bill Oddie's 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 Bill's regular monthly column in Birdwatch magazine, and cover such diverse subjects as bird racing in Hong Kong to a birder's dietary requirements. Often 'cut to fit' the available space in Birdwatch, the stories now appear in their original form, and are complemented by Bill's 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!
Bill Oddie is an English author, actor, comedian, artist, naturalist and musician. Having been interested in bird watching from an early age, Bill Oddie developed an established reputation as a keen and committed birdwatcher and has written a number of bestselling books on this subject including the legendary Bill Oddie's Little Black Bird Book. His many television credits include being the first presenter of Springwatch.
