Welcome to Litsy!

Stephen Moss's Birdwatch column for the Guardian has, over the years, included nostalgic reminiscences on birdwatching as a child, accounts of birding expeditions to places as far-flung as St. Kilda and even Antarctica, stories of birding on his honeymoon in Gambia, details on the birds on his garden feeder, and the recent introduction of his toddler son to birds. The best of these Birdwatch columns are collected into a beautiful miniature hardback, tastefully designed and illustrated with line drawings, and together they build into a touching and fascinating chronicle of how one person's hobby has endured and evolved and in turn enriched a whole life.
