Adrian Riley: Arrivals and Rivals: a birding oddity.
An autobiography of one mans attempt to beat another mans record of year ticks. It is a story of the authors attempts to beat another mans year tick record. When you start reading it you won't put it down. A brilliant book.

The bible of Gulls. Enough said.
