The life patterns of the bird species that we see every day are all linked in various ways to the world of survival, much like our own.
Between these pages, naturalist and retired countryside ranger Keith Taylor takes the reader through the network of survival tactics of the bird species that may be encountered daily, depending on where the reader lives.
Included are autobiographical portraits, recollections of the pioneering days of BBC wildlife radio programmes, and wildlife photography adventures and the techniques involved.
In Closing in on Our Everyday Birds, the author aims at involving readers in that fascinating place - their local patch, which beckons just beyond the doorstep.
