BLOOMSBURY POCKET GUIDE TO GARDEN BIRDS

Do you know your red-legged partridge from your sparrow hawk, your moorhen from your Coot, or love watching the long-tailed, blue, great, crested, coal, willow or marsh Tit? Here are the swallows and waxwings, nuthatches and tree creepers, thrushes and flycatchers, redstarts and stonechats, dunnock and wagtails, chaffinches and goldfinches with their beautiful song. Many of us have had quieter surroundings recently in which to appreciate the chirrups, songs and movement of our feathered friends common to the UK. This beautifully presented pocket guide provides details on 87 of the most common British garden species of birds with tips on providing food, water and nest boxes to encourage birds into your own garden. Illustrated in over 175 of the author's remarkable colour photographs, for each species there is a short history, details of diet, nesting habits, size, habitat and distribution. Colour, 192pp, softback.
