Review:
‘An outstanding work. This is a most comprehensive study, ranging from prehistoric times to the present, with up-to-date assessments of the effects on birds of such modern factors as changes in farming, pesticides, pollution and afforestation. The photographic illustrations, of both birds and woods, are of a fittingly high standard.’
Country life
‘It is the kind of book that can be picked up at any time, being wide ranging and, fascinating in its own right.’
Scotsman
‘If you want to learn about bird life in woods, and about woods, it is all here: if you just want to read for pleasure about something in which you have a vague interest, well you will find this a fascinating and most rewarding book.’
Birmingham Post
‘Woodland Birds is like being taken into a wood by a really knowledgeable expert with a lifelong experience and love of birds.’
