Product Description

Product Description

From describing the many different types of bird migration to information on how to study and observe migration, all you need to know about this subject is included in this excellent book. The Orientation Mechanisms and Weather and Migration chapters reveal the amazing ways in which birds know how to travel vast distances without getting lost, and Great Journeys tells of the incredible feats of athleticism that birds such as Swallows, Arctic Terns and Eleonora's Falcons achieve when they fly for thousands of miles to reach their wintering grounds. The Migratory Table is a unique easy-reference chart that makes it simple to check the migratory habits of all birds that pass through the British Isles and Northern Europe. This book takes a birdwatcher's view of migration. It focuses on what a birder might see and experience and question. Information on where to see migrating birds or observe ringing is included, as is how to interpret the weather in terms of its impact on migration. As a result, this book includes as many practical tips and suggestions as possible, in addition to scientific findings. Full of enthusiasm for the subject, this indispensable and expertly written book is a must for any birder who has ever wondered how and why so many seemingly fragile birds make such arduous journeys.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic!, 30 Jul 2008
This is a lovely little book, well not that little, a really nice size! Anyway this is my second bird migration book and i'm impressed, its nicely illustrated, well laid out and very informative. Its also easy to read cover to cover as opposed to a lot of reference books that can become hard work. If you wish to learn more about this complex and fascinating subject this book is a must have!

5.0 out of 5 stars Clear, enjoyable and informative, 24 Nov 2008
By Gonzo (Gloucestershire, UK) - See all my reviews
I really enjoyed reading this book. It is clear, well laid out, and had just the right depth of information for me; it does what any good primer on a subject should do - it makes you want to find out more. The table at the back - 'Migratory Table for British Birds' - is very useful.
The range of migration patterns is described as are the factors which influence (and sometimes disrupt) migration.
There is a useful bibliography at the back and a glossary.
All in all a very good overview of the subject
