The Birds Of Spurn......

After hearing that birding legend and 'Mr Spurn' Andy Roadhouse had completed 8 years of hard work on his complete avifauna of the Birds Of Spurn,myself along with the rest of the birding community couldn't wait to get our hands on it.
 So a visit to the book launch was a must and myself,along with birding buddy Tim Cowley and the rest of all the Spurn regulars went along on the 14th August  to collect our copies.
 It was really great to see Andy in such great spirits after his long term struggle with his illness and finally get his hands on the finished article.
 Words cannot describe what a fantastic book this is and the meticulous detail of which Andy has added with every species which has been recorded at Spurn,some 388 species.It covers the whole 70 year history of this superb birding and wildlife site and the amazing art work and photos throughout perfectly illustrate it.
 So if you havn't got a copy of the book already,please visit the Spurn Bird Obs website here @ http://www.spurnbirdobservatory.co.uk and use the link on the welcome page,enjoy!.
 The following are a selection of photos of the book and some of it's excellent pages.
