A poignant but hilarious journey into the arcane world of birdwatching by one of the most popular names in British comedy. From a Cornish boyhood wandering gorse-tipped cliffs listening to the song of the yellowhammer with his imaginary girlfriend, to becoming a card-carrying birdwatcher as an adult, McGrath has always been fascinated in all things avian. This personal tale is a thoroughly educational, occasionally lyrical and highly amusing romp through the hidden byways of the twitcher. There is a huge interest in birdwatching currently, with "How To Be A Bad Birdwatcher" by Simon Barnes selling well.
