"In this elegant narrative, celebrated naturalist Ted Floyd guides you through a year of becoming a better birder. Choosing 200 top avian species to teach key lessons, Floyd introduces a new, holistic approach to bird watching and shows how to use the tools of the 21st century to appreciate the natural world we inhabit together whether city, country or suburbs." -- From book jacket.
First published in 1928, this vintage book contains a detailed guide to game birds, with a special focus on those native to England. Including lots of useful and interesting information, this profusely-illustrated handbook will appeal to those with an interest in hunting, and it would make for a fine addition to ornithological collections. Contents include: "Game Birds in General", "Characteristics and Classification of Game Birds", "Coloration of Game Birds", "The Moult of Game birds", "Game Bird Hybrids", "British Game Birds", "The Pheasant", "The Partridge", "The Red-legged Partridge", "The Quail", "The Grouse", "The Black Grouse", "The Snipe", "The Jack Snipe", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction.
