This book was written by a British farmer who purchased a piece of land that was no longer being worked. He built a bird observatory on the property, and documented everything he learned about birds complete with diagrams and maps. If you are seriously interested in learning about birding, this would be a good book to read.

Really interesting and thorough read on the lives of birds and their history. A little slow-paced at times, but overall I enjoyed it.

Great read. UK focused book about all things birds and what have done and could do to improve (or not) the environment for bird life. A beautiful read.with a sense of wonder and digressions into history, philosophy and more. Thank you to the author. Thank you to #netgalley and the publisher for an ARC.
