UK500: Birding in the Fast Lane is an insight into the world of
twitching, an anecdotal, humourous and highly personal account of
some of the author's most memorable - and amusing - missions to add
new birds to his ever-increasing British life-list. Complemented by
his own photographs, paintings and illustrations, he recounts car
crashes, stormy sea crossings, plane convoys and even a coastguard
rescue, all encountered during his quest to see 500+ bird species
in Britain and Ireland, a quest which has spanned 17 years. If you
never thought the simple pleasure of bird watching - now one of the
fastest-growing recreational activities in the world - could be
described as `extreme', you should read this book.This is a
companion volume to Adrian Riley's best selling book Arrivals and
Rivals: a birding oddity.Reprinted October 2007 with minor
corrections.About the Author:James Hanlon was born in South London
in 1974 and grew up in East Ham, where very early on he developed a
keen interest in wildlife, regularly going out bird watching by the
age of 10. By his mid-teens the author had established himself as a
keen `twitcher', contributing illustrations and photographs to a
number of rare bird publications. After graduating in Zoology at
Bangor University, he went backpacking to New Zealand, Australia
and Bali. On returning to the UK, Hanlon resumed his birding
activities and soon decided to try to record 500 bird species by
his 30th birthday at the end of 2004.
