How to be a Bad Birdwatcher

Simon Barnes gives us a radical new approach to watching birds without letting the formalities of birdwatching get in the way. Even bad birdwatchers know something about birds...

"Do you have any binoculars?" "No." "Waterproofs?" "No." "Wellingtons?" "No." It is an inauspicious start to my plan of spending a day birdwatching with Simon Barnes, but - I hasten to point out - it will at least give him the chance to test out the thesis of his new book: How to Be a Bad Birdwatcher. In it he claims that everybody has the capacity to recognise their local feathered friends and that by learning simply to look out of the window from time to time, we can all have our lives enriched by a little avian appreciation.
