Alex Horne - Biography

Alex Horne’s dad has always been a birdwatcher. Alex wasn¹t so sure. But, determined to get to know his father better, Alex challenged him to a competitive Big Year: from January 1st to December 31st 2006, they would
each attempt to see as many species of bird as possible, governed by the basic rules of birdwatching, plus a couple of their own. The one who saw the most birds would be declared the winner.

Could Alex spy more birds than his dad? Would he learn to love birdwatching too? And how did Bahrain, Birdworld and Bill Oddie all get involved?

This is a charming tale of a father and son, of manliness, obsession, and the very funny twists and turns of a year-long bird-race.

Alex Horne is a stand-up comedian. He won the Chortle Award for Best Breakthrough Act in 2004 and in 2003 he was nominated for the Perrier Award at the Edinburgh Fringe and his next show, Wordwatching appeared at the
festival in 2008.

Birdwatching will be hitting the shops end of January 09.
