ISBN: 9781786483768.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA humorous and very personal guide written by Bill Bailey about his favourite British birds, complete with drawings, notes and cartoons by the comedian himself.\n\nWhen herons are spooked they have a habit of vomiting as a defence. Half-digested pieces of eel and water vole skull on your head is not a good look. Just so you know.\n\nBill Baileys Remarkable Guide to British Birds is all about comedian Baileys love of birds. A visual feast - it is packed with illustrations, sketches and notes by Bailey - as well as informative, it is funny and insightful, and positively crackles with energy, knowledge and wit as he takes us on a journey around the British isles, zooming in on those birds that enthuse him the most. Whether its what they eat, where they fly to or how they communicate, these birds are always fascinating, and Bailey introduces us to their weird and wonderful ways in a manner that is always entertaining. If youre a parent whod like to appear a bit clever when your child asks you the name of a bird; if you want to find a new and healthy hobby that takes you outdoors; or whether, quite simply, you want to understand a bit more about our natural environment and have a laugh at the same time, this is the perfect companion book to have.\n\nAlongside music and stand-up, one of Baileys favourite pastimes is birdwatching, which he has been doing since he was a child in the West Country. His fondest memories are of family outings with parents, grandparents and cousins, ticking the birds off in his little Observers Book of Birds. As he has said about those formative years, birdwatching gave a purpose to the day and a love of the natural world which has carried on into my adult life.\n\nA beautifully and originally designed hardback, it will delight Baileys fans as well as those who like a bit of armchair escapism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Quercus","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67924804370485,"sku":"ByrdShop_1786483769","price":226.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781786483768.jpg?v=1794141588","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/bill-baileys-remarkable-guide-to-british-birds-9781786483768","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
