I like this one the best of his three books so far. The first book concentrated on how he became the Urban Birder. The second was about birding in various cities around the world. This book insists that you, too, can be an urban birder. The great thing about David Lindo, both in his books and in person, is that he never makes you feel small. Yes, his enthusiasm leads him to recommend things that just aren't in my range, but in the next paragraph he will be just as enthusiastic about the things I can (and do) enjoy. Just watching the birds who come to our feeders, just using my binoculars to follow a bee eater in flight. I'm never going to sort through a group of gulls to try and see a rare one. They are sea gulls, and that is as close an identification as I care to make. But they are all lovely in flight, if not when squabbling around a pile of garbage.

So remember to look up while walking through the city.

I'm not familiar with this TV star. He's not much of a writer, there are better birders/writers out there. But that's ok, the book works, if you're interesting in birding, especially in the UK.

Look, I know [[David Lindo]] is fascinating in person. I know he can write. I gave his other book 4 1/2 stars. But Tales from concrete jungles is just plain boring. Each city is just two or three pages listing the birds he saw there and birds he could have seen there if he had hit the day and weather right. Gave up half way through - and would have quit earlier if I hadn't met him and read the other book.
