Born and raised in London, David Lindo's passionate interest in the
natural world, especially birds, began at an early age. His thriving
curiosity opened a door for him into an unexplored world of urban
birding. Years later he decided to champion the delights of birding in
cities and reinvented himself as the Urban Birder. Using this
illustrious alias David Lindo has brought urban birding back into the
public consciousness, promoting its virtues at every opportunity and
writing about it in the birding press. He urges people to look up when
walking around in cities, or to stop and close your eyes in a busy
street just to listen to the birds that may be singing. In his second
book, David visits some of the world's most unnatural environments,
revealing the astonishingly diverse range of wildlife that can be
found when you take the time to look. Much more than a compendium of
birding sites, each tale follows the Urban Birder in his enthralling
pursuit of city birding. Accompanied by dedicated local
conservationists and renowned birders, David gives a deeper insight
into the true nature of each city. Featuring 70 locations to explore,
Tales from Concrete Jungles is the perfect book to dip in to when on
the move, or to hide away with on a rainy afternoon. Join David in his
celebration of nature, pick up travel inspiration, and immerse
yourself in his captivating quest for urban birding.
