Must read Pasadena Anyone who wants to know what birding is all about, and wishes to learn the lingo should buy this book. Well done by a competent humorist who knows birding and has an opinion to prove it.. Giggles, guffaws, and a jolly good time transponder This book ranges from mildly amusing to hugely amusing, while managing to be very informative at the same time. It is strewn with pictures and cartoons drawn by the author, has a very 'matey' or intimate-friend atmosphere, and is rooted in a deep personal knowledge of the subject. North Americans may miss some of the English pop-. W. B. said Bill Oddie's Little black bird book. I'm enjoying this little black book very much. I've gotten in with a group of twitchers and bird-listers. If you haven't read this book (they all have) then you're out of the conversation, literally you don't know the vernacular, you don't know what jokes their saying or playing. It's light good fun reading, I'm enjoying this cla
