Birds for All Seasons

This book is a superbly illustrated celebration of the beauty, diversity and wonder of birds.

Courtship, mating, nesting, fledging, feeding and flight all unfold in fascinating detail, and of the 10,000 kinds of birds, over 100 species are chosen to highlight the great variety of feathered life-styles throughout the world.

Birds are shown to be not only visually beautiful and tuneful, but also scientifically revealing, their structure and behaviour illustrating biological themes such as colour and camouflage, reproduction, longevity and migration. Informative and colourful, this book is an excellent introduction to the world of birds – arguably the most attractive, musical and familiar wild creatures on our earth.
