About the Author:
Writing under a variety of noms de plume, Niall Edworthy has written over a dozen books covering a wide range of subjects from military history, biography and outdoor survival to general humour and sport. In 2002 Niall moved house and discovered gardening, a relationship that began as an arranged marriage, but quickly blossomed into a passion, inspiring the delightful CURIOUS GARDENER'S ALMANAC. It could only be a matter of time before he took notice of the feathered creatures with which he shared his outdoor space, and their very curious antics. So began another love affair. Niall lives with his family in Sussex.
