Written for people who love birds but know little about them, this book follows the year through three places: the city of Oxford in autumn, winter and spring, an English village in summer, and the Alps in June. Fowler listens for songs, watches whinchats on the telegraph wires, hunts for well-hidden nests and shares the knack of noticing.
A gentle, observant classic of English nature writing, ideal for beginning birders. Download the free EPUB.
