I do like a good read (given the chance) and I read one some time ago called Why Do Birds Suddenly Disappear by Lev Parikian. I was fortunate enough to have met Lev at a book signing at RSPB Rainham Marshes last year and found him witty, sincere and very clever. These attributes are conveyed in his written word and as a professional music conductor, Lev can express himself via sight and sound. It is very well written, humorous and a bloody good read for birders and non birders alike. https://levparikian.wordpress.com/
