A wonderfully written and personal exploration of the mysterious world of birds through a single year.

Waiting for the Albino Dunnock Summary

Waiting for the Albino Dunnock: How birds can change your life by Rosamond Richardson

'A beautiful book' Tim Birkhead, author of Bird Sense
'The prose is sublime, and so is the intelligence behind it' Bel Mooney, Daily Mail

The extraordinary world of birds has the power to change lives, as it did the author's. The pleasure and fascination of bird-watching, together with the silence and stillness involved, can play a part in changing the way that we live our lives - and can help us when we have to deal with adversity.

Personal and elegiac, Waiting for the Albino Dunnock shows us how beauty is central to our emotional wellbeing, and reminds us of the careless damage we are inflicting on the natural world. This glorious pilgrimage into the soaring world of birds opens our eyes afresh to the beauty which surrounds us.

A beautiful book -- Tim Birkhead, author of BIRD SENSE
Glorious, beautifully written pilgrimage into the soaring world of birds ... The prose is sublime, and so is the intelligence behind it -- Bel Mooney * DAILY MAIL *
Rare, charming and unforgettable ... Her prose has the clarity, poise, precision and transcendent beauty of someone who was brought up reading the classics and knows the joy of finding the right words. Every sentence is perfect -- Richard Davenport-Hines * THE OLDIE *
Beautifully written * CHOICE magazine *
[Richardson] writes...with a poetic lyricism -- Eithne Farry * SUNDAY EXPRESS *

This exquisite depiction of bird-watching as personal pilgrimage is written with passion, poetry and the
freshness of a newcomer: 'the real voyage of discovery consists in...seeing with new eyes'

* THE LADY *
Richardson is both a looker and a see-er and her open-eyed delight in the beauty around her has an infectious quality enhanced by exquisite writing -- Sara Maitland * BBC COUNTRYFILE *
[Richardson's] lyrical memoir of a year of birdwatching in Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex and Greece is a life-enhancing record of birds (and books). * DAILY MAIL *
