THE HAPPY BIRDMAN Gloucestershire-born Len Hill left school at fifteen to be apprenticed to a carpenter. But studying and caring for wild birds was always his great love. Now, as owner of the famous Birdland bird sanctuary near his native Bourton-on-the-Water, he receives hundreds of thousands of visitors every year and is internationally known and respected ornithologist. He became a 'Penguin Millionaire' when, some years ago, he acquired two islands in the South Atlantic inhabited by over 3,000,000 penguins (a unique undertaking which was the subject of a BBC TV programme.) Here is a chance to meet the remarkable man and the exotic (not to mention eccentric) birds who are his friends - a book to savour and to treasure.
