Guardian Bookshop Notes:

An account of an avid bird watcher's life, following the birds' year from one summer to the next. This debut title follows in the tradition of the recent spate of birdwatching books but restores to the reader the primacy of the act of looking.

Publisher's description:

Storm petrels fly from a midnight sea in June to their nesting holes in a two-thousand-year-old stone tower; a million starlings gather to roost from all points across a freezing winter sky; and migrant redstarts, only weeks out of their nest, set off over alien seas on their way to Africa. This book records a lifetime of looking at birds.
