The beauty and fascination of birds is unrivalled. Every day of the
year, immerse yourself in their world with an entry from A Bird of
Day, where Dominic Couzens offers an insight into everything from
the humble Robin to Emperor Penguins, who are in the midst of
Arctic storms protecting their young on 1 July. Or discover the
fate of the Passenger Pigeon which became extinct through
overhunting on 1 September 2014. If you ever visit the Himalayan
uplands, go in late November when you can see a flock of the cobalt
blue Grandala birds, which is one of the wonders of the natural
world. The author is a world expert on birds and particularly bird
behaviour and he reveals endless fascinating stories of birds from
all over the globe to give a rich tapestry of avian life with
stunning photography, illustration and arresting art. All of bird
life is covered, from nesting, migration, and courting to birdsong
and curious bird behaviour. From the promiscuous Fairywren of
Australia, who gives petals to his mistresses, to the singing
instructions of the female Northern Cardinal in North America, this
is a delightful dip-in-and-out book for any nature lover.
