Hudson expanded his first English bird book, Birds in a Village of 1893, into this volume. He watches rooks, robins, starlings and wrens in a country village, records what has vanished through shooting and trapping, and turns to the birds of London’s parks and squares, with reflections on how human hands have thinned out nature’s finer kinds.
