Author and bird enthusiast Robert McDowell has compiled an excellent book based on his own experiences and writings as a bird watcher. Through his writing, he takes the reader on a serene journey to many bird-watching hotspots across Northern Ireland.
As he explains: "There is no doubt that bird watching has enriched my life in many ways. There is an unbridled joy in watching wild creatures behaving naturally in their own environment. Since casting off the shackles of working life, I have been able to indulge my two passions – travel and watching wildlife. I have enjoyed many privileged moments in nature, both at home and further afield. The book relates to some of my experiences close to home."
