First look inside latest book by popular BBC Springwatch presenter and lifelong birder Chris Packham

 

Tips and insights - the TV celebrity's new book 

IT is not due to arrive in the shops until March, but publishers DK have put out an early preview of Chris Packham's Birdwatching Guide

It is described as being for beginners and experts alike.

Says the pre-publication blurb: "Chris's infectious passion for nature will inspire you on your bird watching journey.

"He is a lifelong birdwatcher and the perfect guide on a day out bird spotting. 

"Through a series of chapters, he can build you from an absolute beginner exploring your own backyard, giving you tips and insights that he has gained from years of bird watching."

It continues: "Whether you are in a city or deep in the country, birds are guaranteed and provide an easy doorway into nature. 

"Learn where, when, and how to look and what to look out for. 

"Find out what equipment to buy and how to use it. 

"Discover the different characters and characteristics of birds - from the shy bittern to the bold robin and the gymnastic red kite."

There are other sections on different habitats, on  sketching and even on 'etiquette' in bird hides.

The book, which is rich in illustrations, will be published in hardback at £12.99 on March 7.

The pictures below provide an early sample of a book that will no  doubt delight the BBC Springwatch presenter's many fans.
