His birders are bright, active, often quirky people who are aggressive, adventurous, and obsessive about their avocation. Written from a British perspective, yet worldwide in focus, Cocker's tales describe the birder's lust for achieving long lists of species seen as well as the never-ending search for rarities. He shows how birders are highly knowledgeable about geography, ecology, and botany, and in many respects their familiarity with birds often surpasses that of professional ornithologists. Top birding personalities are portrayed, sometimes ruthlessly. An appendix listing "useful information, addresses and organizations" is heavy on Old World loci. A delightful, well-informed read for all with a bent for listing in nature. This is a gently used hard cover copy with nice, full color dust jacket. The dust jacket has some minor rubbing on the cover from light use and shelving. Otherwise, the book is in very good condition with tight binding and clean, unmarked pages.
