There is plenty for both keen bird-watchers and others amongst the adventures that Mr Lindo recaps in his book &#8211; humorous, surreal and bizarre &#8211; so do make sure to pick up a copy!<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><b><i>Kid&#8217;s Bird Walk<\/i><\/b><br \/>1pm &#8211; 3pm, Friday 9th September 2011<br \/>Wormholt Park, Shepherd&#8217;s Bush, W12 0JH<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><b><i>Urban Birding<\/i><\/b><br \/>12pm &#8211; 2pm, Saturday 10th September 2011<br \/>Idler Academy, 81 Westbourne Park Road, W2 5QH<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>More on David Lindo and his recently published book <i>The Urban Birder<\/i> can be found on his website: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theurbanbirder.com\/\">www.theurbanbirder.com<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>David Lindo Notting Hill-based author and broadcaster David Lindo is holding two great urban birding events in West London this Friday and Saturday.
