A delightful little title packed with mases of scholarly information for the twitterer and student alike. Deals with robins, swallows and dabchicks.
A once popular title now scarce in earlier editions.
This copy is further enhanced by being a school Form Prize with presentation label within and school crest on front cover.
A most handsome addition to the libraries of the bird fancier and collector of Africana alike.
