This handbook should be of interest to all aspiring bird watchers. It contains information on the physical features of birds, as well as an account of their migration habits. It also describes 64 different species of birds which may be seen in built-up areas, in parks and gardens, and in the field. Each description covers the feeding, nesting and mating habits of the bird and is accompanied by a colour illustration. Where the male and female of the species are different in appearance, both are shown. Eggs and nesting habits are also described.
