First published in 1906, this book contains a classic reference guide for bird watchers. Intended to be used in the field, this wonderful little pocket book contains concise information on a variety of common British birds, complete with descriptions, notes on habit and habitat, tips on where to find them, and much more. The information contained within has been carefully compiled from well-known ornithological works and the author's extensive experience, making it highly recommended for keen bird watchers new and old. Contents include: "Fieldfare or Felt", "Blackbird", "Redwing", "Ring Ouzel", "Wheatear", "Whinchat", "Stonechat", "Redstart", "Black Redstart", "Redbreast", "Nightingale", "Whitethroat", "Lesser Whitethroat", "Blackcap", etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on bird watching.
