Foreword by Martin Harper, Global Conservation Director, RSPB
The author is a TV and radio broadcaster, with a large following
Features a wide range of birds, from the common woodpigeon to exotic South African sunbirds
Takes the reader on a brilliantly written, personal journey
The perfect book for the amateur bird-watcher

When we see a bird, do we really see it? It's perfectly possible to go through life with an almost total disregard for birds. However, in Britain, there are more than a million members of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds. And thanks to Instagram - and other networking sites - there is also a growing number of bird photographers opening our eyes to unimagined treasures.

From the giants of our skies to the sweetest singing garden warbler, from Matthew Stadlen's London street to the Indian jungle and taking in countries as far afield as Albania and Australia, this book is, in a way, also a story of his life. Starting with the smallest bird in each chapter and building towards the biggest, and using his photographs as a guide, How to See Birds takes us on a very personal bird-watching journey and in the process, helps us to see birds - to really see birds!

About the Author

Matthew Stadlen is a TV and radio presenter. He presents a twice-weekly LBC show rated number one in London, and boasts a large national audience of 150,000+. Before that he presented, produced and co-devised the hugely successful Five Minutes With interview strand as well as twenty-nine half-hour On The Road With documentaries - both for the BBC, where he was also a programme editor on BBC One's This Week after starting out on Newsnight. Matthew made national and international headlines with his articles for the Telegraph and wrote 'The Matthew Stadlen Interview' in the paper. He has written for the Spectator, The Sunday Times and Radio Times, appeared frequently on Sky News and is the co-author of The Politics Companion, published by Think. Cambridge educated, Matthew was born and raised in Notting Hill where he still lives but he gets out to the countryside whenever he can to pursue his twin passions of photography and bird-watching.
