Description
The Book of Birds is a compendium of forty-nine bird species, from Avocet to Yellowhammer, all of which are presently declining or endangered in Britain. Inspired by the classic bird-books with which the authors grew up, this is a field guide with a difference. It asks not ‘What is that bird?’, but ‘Who is that bird?’ It shows its readers how to identify birds, but also how to identify with them.
‘From flight patterns to song, myth and mating rituals, each bird is celebrated in Morris’s vibrant paintings and Macfarlane’s lyrical accompanying notes’ ― National Geographic
‘Spellbinding and lyrical . . . A companion, helping you to discover wonder in the everyday . . . The significance of this beautiful book cannot be underestimated . . . Rooted in wonder, The Book of Birds has the power to persuade – to be the catalyst that reminds us all of what we stand to lose, and to spur us on to help our precious birdlife thrive once more’ ― RSPB
