Bearded Tit

This title is the “Sunday Times” Bestseller. It is narrated by the author. From his Cornish boyhood, Rory recounts his life of birdwatching, observing his first skylark while stoned; his repeatedly failed attempts to get up at the crack of dawn like the real twitchers; and, his flawed bid to educate his mate Danny in the ways of birding. Rory’s tale is a thoroughly educational, occasionally lyrical and highly amusing romp through the hidden byways of birdwatching. This recording is unabridged. Typically abridged audiobooks are not more than 60 per cent of the author’s work and as low as 30 per cent with characters and plotlines removed.
