I’ve been asked by a few people about a good bird book – lockdown is making people look at what’s around them, and in many ways, the most obvious, alluring and beautiful things to watch are birds. And that’s why they are buying these titles on Amazon…
The RSPB Pocket Guide is the 138th best-selling book of all on Amazon UK – behind a lot of children’s books and lots of novels. No doubt that nature is in people’s minds right now.

My lockdown recommendation is The Garden Jungle by Dave Goulson. Great read.
I’d recommend the Guide to Garden Wildlife by Ian Lewington published by Bloomsbury.
