This antique text is the third volume of 'The Handbook of British Birds', a comprehensive resource perfect for both the discerning ornithologist and amateur bird-watcher alike. A thoroughly detailed handbook covering all aspects of the birds native to Britain, this informative and accessible book is not to be missed by the discerning bird-watcher and is well deserving of a place in any collection of ornithological literature. Many antiquarian books such as this are increasingly expensive and hard to come by. We have elected 'The Handbook of British Birds' for modern republication in the hope that its contents shall be read and enjoyed for generations to come, and we are proud to republish it now complete with a new introduction to ornithology.
