Garden Birds and Wildlife - Tapa dura

Written by Dr. Paul Sterry, a leading wildlife author and Mike Toms of the B.T.O. (British Trust for Ornithology) "Garden Birds and Wildlife" is a truly unique, must-have guide perfect for all wildlife watchers. The guide includes unique information from the BTO, providing readers with more information about birds and wildlife in their gardens than any other guide. Each entry is accompanied by numerous photographs and illustrations to help with identification, regardless of the time of year or what the bird is doing. The pictures also underline behaviour and help readers understand why the bird behaves the way it does. Each entry is highly detailed and includes distribution patterns and seasonal trends presented in clear, easy-to-use graphs; details of size, food, nest and eggs; bird numbers; and typical lifespan and the longest recorded lifespan.

Dr. Paul Sterry trained as a biologist before embarking on a career as an author and wildlife photographer. Over the past 15 years he has written, or contributed to, more than 40 books and worked for numerous wildlife magazines. Mike Toms is the director of the British Trust for Ornithology's Garden Birdwatch scheme.
