This glorious book features many of the best sites and nature reserves in North West England that are freely available to be explored and enjoyed.
Enjoying Birdwatching in Lancashire and Cumbria highlights not only the wonderful birds, flora and fauna of the two countries but also the opportunities for walks, manageable for almost everyone, amidst stunning natural beauty. There is little doubt good exercise and a healthy lifestyle generates physical and mental awareness and indeed a sense of fulfillment. Where appropriate the author shares his knowledge as a historian too by describing sites of considerable archaeological or historic interest.
Birdwatching walks is without doubt an original concept of David Hindle. It was originally conceived and developed by him to get the public into the beautiful countryside of Lancashire's Bowland AONB, to share and enjoy his love of birds and all things natural in nature. This book is aimed at families, thereby hopefully stimulating a lifelong interest in the natural world with children. For the hiker there is a profusion of bracing walks; for the ornithologist there are glorious color photographs and specialist comments on bird populations and conservation issues. More experienced naturalists and birdwatchers will benefit by adding to their knowledge of sites and crucial habitats.
