Sister volume to the bestselling 'Flora Britannica.' The beauty of this book is that it embraces ornithology in the scientific sense, and poetry, literature and folklore, to provide a much more rounded account of the birds of Britain than is provided by most other volumes.
From the publisher's announcement:
A comprehensive cultural study, species by species, of all the birds in Britain. It covers cultural links; social history; birds as food; ecology; the lore and language of birds; myths, art, literature and music; anecdotes, birdsong and rare facts; modern developments; migration, the seasons and our sense of place.
