I have just finished reading this 250ish page book and it is a brilliant read with many wonderful birding stories all interesting, funny and intense. I read it every spare moment I had which is saying something as if it is not a good one I will read it if I am bored. I suggest this book as one on t your list if you have not read it yet. An examplary story is the shortest one in brief. . .
A fella heard of a Roller on a small islet just off the shore. The shore is accessible by wading up to your thigh at low tide. He did this and got the Roller only to find the tide had come right in so he strapped his bins to the top of his head with his belt and swam back. Narrowly missed a speedboat. Picture a family on the beach having a fun picnic. What did they make of a fully clothed fella coming out of the sea with bins strapped to his head!!!
