Secret Lives of British Birds

by Dominic Couzens

Exposing the extraordinary hidden world of some of our most familiar birds, beyond the confines of our gardens and parks, this title shows how all these birds cope with living in seemingly inhospitable habitats such as reedbeds, lonely moorland or out over the open sea.

A thoroughly enjoyable, life enhancing read and at least as satisfying visually thanks to the superb illustrations of Pater Partington which are given plenty of room and some glorious double page spreads. It was an experience much like the joys of BBC Spring/Autumn/Winterwatch without the bother of working out how to use the TV and stay up past my bedtime.
