Description

Everywhere we go there are birds, and they all have mysteries to be unravelled.

These mysteries include the way they look, from bizarre to apparently mundane, why they live where they live, and the things they do, many of which are far too incredible ever to be imagined as fiction. Birds in Their Habitats is a collection of stories and experiences, which introduce fascinating aspects of birdlife, ecology and behaviour.

Informed by a wealth of historical and contemporary research, Ian Fraser takes the reader on a journey through four continents: from places as unfamiliar as the Chonos Archipelago of southern Chile and the arid Sahel woodlands of northern Cameroon to those as familiar as a suburban backyard.

This is a book of discovery of birds and the places they live. And with humour and personal insight, it is a book about the sometimes strange world of the people who spend a life absorbed in birds. FEATURES:Engaging and entertaining text written by one of Australia’s best natural history writers. This ‘birding travelogue’ will take readers on a journey of discovery through the far-flung habitats and fascinating birds of the world. Contains an illustrated section with colour photographs showcasing the incredible diversity of bird species and their habitats.
