About this title

Synopsis

In this volume, birds are treated, not as museum specimens or subjects simply to be identified and catalogued, but as living animals. The author discusses their evolution, anatomy, feeding, habitats, social behaviour, breeding and migration. The book therefore covers all aspects of avian biology. But what makes it so absolutely outstanding is its illustrations. Points made in the text are demonstrated by superb paintings by the Dutch artist and naturalist Ad Cameron, one of the world's leading bird artists.
