From the front flap of the jacket: "The New Wildfowler on the 1970's preserves all the valuable features of the earlier volume, though all has been carefully revised and brought fully up-to-date, and presents a great deal of entirely new material and a fresh set of splendid illustrations. It is the work of some thirty experts, writing under the auspices of the Wildfowlers' Assoiation of Great Britain and Ireland (WAGBI) and provides a wealth of information and practical advice which cannot fail to improve the skill and increase the enjoyment of every keen sportsman. But the book is also one that belongs as much on the shelf of the naturalist as on that of the shooter; its important chapters concerned with wildfowl conservation, observation and habitat are of the deepest interest. These show the great progress that has been made in recent years, the result of successful co-operation between the sportsman and naturalist. With 63 photographs, nine colour plates, many maps, diagrams and tables." Size: 8vo. Book. …
