A witty, eloquent and perceptive book - with an accompanying podcast available online - which will tune your ears to the delightful songs of the birds around you.
This vital book - with a free CD and podcast - takes you from winter into deepest spring, teaching you to how recognise bird song after song as the chorus swells. You start with robin, and end up listening to nightingales.
This is very good indeed. Barnes's approach is humorous, chatty and pragmatic... He can't do the listening for you, but boy, does he help you sharpen your ears.
