Zoology: birds (ornithology)
Collins New Naturalist Library – Owls (Collins New Naturalist Library, Book 125)
Owls have always featured prominently in the mythology and folklore of a variety of cultures. These mysterious nocturnal creatures are thought to be symbols of wisdom, omens of death, and bringers of prophecy. In fact, owls are one of the oldest species of vertebrate animal, with fossils dating back 60 million years.
Collins New Naturalist Library – Terns (Collins New Naturalist Library, Book 123): Limited signed edition
This New Naturalist volume provides a much-anticipated overview of these fascinating birds – the first book on the natural history of British and Irish terns since 1934.
Collins New Naturalist Library – Bird Populations (Collins New Naturalist Library, Book 124)
Earlier naturalists formed the impression that bird numbers remained more or less stable through time. In the years since these words were written, however, changes have occurred in the landscapes of the British Isles and in the seas around our coasts, causing bird populations to fluctuate in an unprecedented way.
Collins New Naturalist Library – British Birds of Prey (Collins New Naturalist Library, Book 60)
Leslie Brown’s account of our 15 resident, 7 vagrant and 2 migrant species of eagles, falcons, hawks and vultures in Britain presents a great mass of scientific information about our birds of prey in a manner as attractive to the general reader as to the dedicated ornithologist.
