Reviews

[Cher · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book is about the breeding and chick-rearing habits of specific avocet populations in England. It wasn't arranged very logically or written particularly well. It reads more like someone's thesis. For this reason, I would only recommend it to hardcore birders.
