Urban birding is fast becoming ornithology’s new rock ’n’ roll. Birds and birding have never been cooler—and urban birding is at the cutting edge.
How to Be an Urban Birder is the world’s first guide to the art of urban birding—which is so easy and great fun! Here, urban birding pioneer David Lindo tells you everything you need to know about birds and birding in towns and cities in the UK.
The book includes a brief history of urban birding in the UK, covers the best places to look for birds in towns and cities, helps you get to know your urban birds and gives useful tips on how to attract birds to your garden.
Also, it explains what gear you need and how to go about being an urban birder and features hundreds of cool images and illustrations of birds in urban settings.
