Bearded TitConfessions of a BirdwatcherRory McGrath

Contributor BioRory McGrath is one of the best-known faces in British comedy, appearing in shows such as GrumpyOld Men, QI, and They Think It’s All Over.

SummaryA poignant but hilarious journey into the arcane world of birdwatching by one of the most popularnames in British comedy, Bearded Tit is Rory McGrath’s story of life among birds. From a Cornishboyhood wandering gorse-tipped cliffs listening to the song of the yellowhammer with his imaginarygirlfriend, or drawing gravity-defying jackdaws in class when he should have been applying himself tophysics, to quoting the Latin names of birds to give himself a fighting chance with the most beautifulgirl he had ever seen. As an adult, or what passes for one, Rory recounts becoming a card-carryingbirdwatcher, observing his first skylark—peerless king of the summer sky—while stoned; hisrepeatedly failed attempts to get up at the crack of dawn like the real twitchers; and his flawed bid toeducate his utterly unreconstructed drinking mate Danny in the ways of birding. Rory’s tale is athoroughly educational, occasionally lyrical, and highly amusing romp through the hidden byways ofbirdwatching and all its attendant arcane knowledge.

A Sweet, Wild NoteWhat We Hear When the Birds SingRichard Smyth

Contributor BioRichard Smyth is a writer, researcher, and editor. He is a regular contributor to Bird Watchingmagazine, and he writes and reviews for the Times, Guardian, Times Literary Supplement, LiteraryReview, New Statesman, and BBC Wildlife. He is the author of English History: Strange But True.

SummaryBirdsong is woven into culture, emotions, and landscape. It is the soundtrack to our world, shapingexperiences of place and belonging. We have tried to capture this fleeting, ephemeral beauty, andthe feelings it inspires, for millennia. In this rich and insightful account, Richard Smyth asks what it isabout birdsong that we so love, exploring the myriad ways in which it has influenced literature,music, and art, our feelings about the natural world, and our very ideas of what it means to behuman. Does the song-thrush mean to sing "a full-hearted evensong/Of joy illimited," as he does inHardy’s poem "The Darkling Thrush?" Examining his own conflicted love of birdsong, Smyth’snuanced investigation shows that what we hear says as much about us, our dreams and desires, asit does about the birds and their songs. At a time when birdsong is growing quieter, with fewer voices,more thinly spread, this beautiful book is a celebration of the complex relationships between birds,people, and landscape; it is also a passionate call to arms and an invitation to act lest our trees andhedges...

Her essay “Lost,” published in The Fourth River, was nominated for a Pushcart Prize in 2008.She teaches creative writing at West Virginia University. She lives in Morgantown, West Virginia.

SummaryTaking the reader from the mountains of Appalachia to a coffee plantation near Bogotá, Colombia,this investigation into the plight of the cerulean warbler—a tiny migratory songbird—describes itsstruggle to survive in ever-shrinking bands of suitable habitat. This elusive creature—a favoriteamong bird watchers and the fastest-declining warbler species in the United States—has lost threepercent of its total population each year since 1966. This precipitous decline means that today thereare 80 percent fewer ceruleans than 40 years ago, and their numbers continue to drop because ofthreats including deforestation, global warming, and mountaintop-removal coal mining. Withscientific rigor and a sense of wonder, Fallon charts their path across more than 2000 miles andshows how the fate of a creature weighing less than an ounce is vitally linked to that of our own.

In the OrchardAnne Stevenson

Contributor BioAnne Stevenson, an Anglo-American who has lived in Britain for many years, published elevencollections of poems with OUP before Bloodaxe Books brought out two further volumes incorporatedinto her collected Poems 1995–2005. Her Selected Poems were published by The Library of America,after she won The Poetry Foundation of America's Neglected Master's Award in 2007. Alan Turnbullstudied Fine Art at Newcastle University and at Chelsea College of Art. In the mid 1990s he beganmaking prints and etching now forms a large part of his work. His work takes the form of sequencesof etchings often based on literary texts.

SummaryIn the Orchard is not so much a collection of poems about birds as a book of memories and raremoments in which a number of familiar birds have played a spark-like role in bringing poems about.They are chiefly lyrical in character and range in time from ‘Resurrection’ written over fifty years agoto recent poems like ‘The Bully Thrush’, but they are not ordered chronologically and shouldn’t beassociated with events in the poet’s private life. The etchings by Alan Turnbull are the result of hispatient and painstaking study of each bird as it relates to the poem in which it appears.

The Life of the RobinVoted Britain's National BirdDavid Lack

Contributor BioDavid Lack was a British biologist and the author of Darwin's Finches, Evolution Illustrated by Waterfowl,and Swifts in a Tower.

SummaryThe Robin has now been voted Britain’s favorite bird—a friendly presence in thousands of gardens,year round. Its life was hardly understood when David Lack—who has been called Britain’s mostinfluential ornithologist—started his scientific observations of robins while a schoolteacher atDartington. It was Lack who established that robins sing to defend their territory; that males will fightto the death but will also feed injured opponents; that couples will court and mate but then ignoreeach other; that most robins will die in any given year. The book he wrote is a landmark in naturalhistory, not just for discoveries that changed ornithology, but because of the approachable style,sharpened with an acute wit. It reads as freshly and as fascinatingly today as when it was firstwritten. No one who has ever enjoyed the company of a robin in their garden or on a walk will want tobe without this book. Unavailable for many years, this classic work includes postscripts by theauthor’s son, Peter Lack, and by the doyen of robin studies today, David Harper. The former explainsthe genesi...
