Have you ever wondered what 'our' birds get up to when they're not
pinching our peanuts, pilfering our pyracantha berries or nesting
under the eaves of our homes? The One Show's natural history star
Mike Dilger tells us the answers in Nightingales in November. This
brilliant almanac tells the very different personal and annual
stories of twelve well-known birds we deign to call 'British'.
Through a lyrical narrative, Nightingales in November showcases
amazing avian facts gleaned over decades by birdwatchers, ringers,
nest recorders and migration recorders. The perfect 'dip-into'
book, any enquiring naturalist will be able to find out such facts
as where British-breeding swallows spend Christmas Day, when to
look out for juvenile tawny owls, or when is the best date in the
calendar to listen out for nightingales. By using a combination of
cutting-edge satellite technology and millions of ringing records,
Nightingales in November reveals the mysteries of migration,
tracking the regular movements of, for example, cuckoos for the
eight months they're not in the UK, or divulging why not all robins
are the 'stay-at-home' territorial types we once imagined.
Illustrated throughout by Darren Woodhead, the birds featured
include a rich mix of resident birds, summer visitors, winter
visitors and passage migrants. Nightingales in November is a great
read for anyone with a fondness for British birds.
