The Urban Birder By Clare O'Beara While I had not heard of the Urban Birder before linking with him on a social site, the title stuck easily so as soon as I saw this book I picked it up to buy.London where David Lindo grew up is a vast sprawl of city and among its gardens, parks, reservoirs, derelict sites and wild spaces, innumerable bird species are to be found. Some are resident for all or part of the year while many other species migrate across Britain and use London as part of the route. Any keen bird watcher may see something unexpected, or a usual bird behaving in an unexpected way, is the message from this devoted fan of birds.We get the often amusing story of Lindo's early and incongruous obsession with feathered friends, growing up in a Jamaican family in dense housing. Despite being scared off birds in his personal space by Hitchcock's 'The Birds' on TV while a child, he loved watching them through his prized binoculars bought on hire-purchase and made his own notes. Soon he developed a life-list and area-list hobby which increased his drive to see more and better habitats.While Lindo has been fortunate enough to work in various places around the world, he has pursued his ornithology to, presumably, the exclusion of some socialising. Bird watching comes across as a mostly male pursuit in salt marshes at dawn and not all those men could be bothered chatting to a black kid who had memorised books. I grinned when Lindo described spotting rarities because the large group of twitchers (those who pursue a spotting of a rare bird) he'd just split from was scaring off the bird, or the garrulous men were too busy chatting on a boat trip to spot an unusual gull in the mix. He does mention his interest in music and clubs but we don't get an account of a more personal life.I liked the account of the different habitats to be found in the big city, and the bird diversity available. However there is little on the other biodiversity, and for me all the species found in a habitat are interlinked. Lindo surprised himself by finding an entire ecosystem under a log while guiding a walk for children, right up to newts!I would also have liked to see some advice on luring birds to your garden, other than the biscuit crumbs the junior enthusiast used, or at least a recommendation of which book to buy or website to read to get this information. For this reason I recommend teaming this book with "Welcome to Subirdia: Sharing Our Neighborhoods with Wrens, Robins, Woodpeckers, and Other Wildlife" by John M. Marzluff, Jack Delap.Overall this is an amiable memoir from a guy who clearly enjoys his life and wants to spread his message of looking up and being inspired by birds of all kinds.

Absolutely loved his book. He comes across to be very passionate about birding and passing on the wonder of birds to the younger generation especially children who have grown up in cities. Would definitely recommend this book to any person who is even slightly interested in birds. You will be hooked on birds after reading this book

By Marc Arndt I only knew of the David Lindo, "The Urban Birder," through Twitter, but he seemed to be having some interesting birding adventures. When I found out he had a book out, I was curious to read about birding from a modern-British perspective, and being a semi-urban birder myself, wanted to see Mr. Lindo's take. His story is far different than most birders' and I'm sure it wasn't easy to persevere in a pastime as starchy as birding for an urban child of immigrants in the sprawl of London. If you feel you're not the typical birder or a lone birder amongst a world of non-birders, or just a curious birder, this book makes for an interesting read. Turns out, for the non-Brits, that Mr. Lindo is a TV "presenter" and there are a lot of interesting YouTube videos of him trying to take birding to the British public.
