Book Synopsis

The motivational story of David Lindo''s experiences with birding in the city

Anyone can become an Urban Birder. You can do it anywhere and any time, whether you''ve got the day to spare, on your way to work, during your lunch break or just looking out of a window. Look up and you will see.

The book is an inspirational look at the birdlife in our cities, or more accurately, the author David''s personal journey of discovery involving encounters with racism, air rifle-toting youths, girls, alcohol, music, finding urban wildlife oases and of course, birds.
