London: Hamlyn, 1975 The book describes and illustrates over 200 of the most common British birds. Two important features ensure the book is easy to use. The birds are divided into five groups-ducks, geese and swans, water birds, seabirds, birds of prey and land birds-and the plates of each group carry a coloured border to enable quick reference to the appropriate section. In addition, each plate faces descriptions of the species it depicts so that no cross-referencing between picture and text is necessary. The concise descriptions contain information on flight, voice, habitat and distribution for each bird. The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds has collaborated closely in the production of this guide, and its former director, Peter Condor, has written the foreword. Hardcover. As New/As New.
