Hudson sets out to record the wild birds of London as they actually were in his day. He follows the crows of the parks, debates the carrion crow’s fate, watches the jackdaws, laments the expulsion of the rooks from their old rookeries, notes newcomers settling in, and argues for more green space for the poor children of districts with none.
A naturalist’s affectionate and campaigning portrait of city wildlife, still fascinating for London birdwatchers. Download the free EPUB.
