There should be a picture of a book here, but the stupid computer doesn't seem to want to put it in that empty box. So I've put one of my terrific drawings on here instead. SO .. The book I want to tell you about is by Jim Flegg ... " A Notebook of BIRDS 1907 - 1980.... and illustrations by Norman Arlott, Robert Gillmor and the excellent and wonderful Laurel Tucker. She's the one who made all the beautiful illustrations for The Big Bird Race.
It is full of short-ish articles under themes ...Behaviour, Food and Feeding, Migration, Aggression, "It is amazing" , Goings and Comings, Physique .... all good stuff. Here's a few headings for you to get the idea .. " Kestrel taking Prey from Barn Owl" "Red Grouse Flying Out To Sea" "Turnstones feeding on Human Corpse" " Collared Dove in Surrey" ...and, as they say, many many more.
