A comprehensive introduction for young bird-watchers, translated and adapted from the German original by Kathleen Shaw and edited by John Seymour. Covers bird song and calls, physical structure and classification, attracting birds to the garden, identification, expeditions and field notes, nestboxes, breeding-season studies, bird care and rehabilitation, and migration — including a detailed migration chart of British summer and winter visitors. Illustrated throughout with over 150 photographs and line drawings, plus a colour frontispiece of a tawny owl.
