As prize-winning journalist Steve Braunias stands on an apartment balcony on a sultry summer evening, a black-backed gull flies so close he is instantaneously bowled over with happiness: 'I thought: Birds, everywhere. I wanted to know more about them.'
This book is the result - a wondrous personal journey into the amazing world of birds, and the people ensnared, captivated and entranced by them: the passionate tribe of bird-watchers and twitchers.
'A great book, original and captivating - compelling to the end'
LLOYD JONES
'Steve Braunias's fascination and delight are contagious - and inspirational'
GRAHAME SYDNEY
'Steve Braunias has done for feathered New Zealand what Kerry Packer did for cricket. Even though they don't know it, birds will never be the same again'
