Chris Packham's Wild Side of Town: Getting to Know the Wildlife in Our Towns and Cities: Amazon.co.uk: Chris Packham: Books

Product Description

Exploring the full range of wildlife that can be found in all manner of urban habitats in our towns and cities, Chris Packham looks at the species that have found a home there. As more wildlife adapts to our built-up, concrete and noisy cities, urban sites such as disused railway embankments, canals, reservoirs, rubbish tips and inner-city gardens are becoming invaluable bolt-holes for a huge number of species. This book is at once a source to the best urban sites in Britain and the different habitats that exist there, and a field guide to the wildlife inhabiting these city locations. The book is complemented by photographs illustrating the diversity of these urban sites and the adaptability and resilience of the resident wildlife.
