That is my newest guide: Wings Throughout the Atlantic: a yr within the lifetime of two previous birders.
About Wings Throughout the Atlantic
It’s basically a re-run of the guide, Birds of a Feather by Colin Rees and Derek Thomas (see my assessment – click on right here) 11 years later with Colin based mostly in Maryland, USA, and me taking the position of the UK-based co-author. Derek Thomas, Colin’s earlier co-author handed away final yr (click on right here) and the guide is devoted to him. The duvet is by Chris Packham and there are engaging line drawings of birds by Ian Rees by means of the guide. Any income from the guide might be shared by the American Hen Conservancy and Wild Justice – however there received’t be any income until we promote a number of hundred copies!
We’re two previous birders: Colin is smart, cultured and based mostly on Chesapeake Bay however travels to different US high birding places. I, as readers of this weblog will know, am opinionated, grumpy and somewhat hefted to one of the bird-less counties of the UK. We’re sufficiently old to have seen and considered adjustments in chicken life round us over many many years, and we each look and pay attention for birds day by day even when there are not any binoculars spherical our necks.
We write in regards to the birds and different wildlife we see by means of the altering seasons and the environmental information and occasions that happen. There was a UK basic election and a US presidential election through the yr in query, and actual life (household, chores, conferences, and in my case Wild Justice) intervenes.
When cross-examined by a journalist who requested, ‘Why ought to anybody purchase this guide?‘, I mentioned, “Good query! It’s a pleasing learn, neatly positioned someplace between Struggle and Peace and Bridget Jones’s Diary with much less struggle than one and fewer intercourse than both, however much more birds.“.
