Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an exploration of the history and habits of the Heron, a wading bird with a long and storied past.

The book also extensively covers the bird's natural history, including its physical characteristics, feeding habits, and breeding behaviour. The author draws on a variety of sources, including ancient texts, scientific studies, and personal observations, to paint a detailed portrait of the Heron. The book is particularly strong in its discussion of the Heron's hunting techniques, which involve the use of specialized feathers to capture prey. The author also provides a fascinating account of the Heron's social behaviour, including its complex courtship rituals and its interactions with other birds.
