The Birdwatcher's Pocket Companion

by Malcolm Tait

This attractive, handy pocket book will appeal to all birdwatchers. From the serious (why vultures are dying out in Asia) to the bizarre (the parrot that can read minds); the informative (why waxwings have waxy wings) to the completely ridiculous (the avian footballing XI, starring Bobby Moorhen and Jimmy Grebes), The Birdwatcher’s Pocket Companion covers an extraordinary array of notes, quotes, facts, and stats about birds.

This pocket companion also offers extracts from the finest writing about birds over the centuries. Gilbert White shares space with Chaucer, Flora Thompson nestles up to D. H. Lawrence. There are also blank pages at the end for your own notes and jottings about birds. A delightful and amusing little gift for the birdwatchers on your list.
