This beautifully illustrated book by young naturalist Dara McAnulty takes readers through a year in the life of the birds in Britain and Ireland. It is divided into four seasonal sections; find out what birds do in each season while learning about birdsong, beaks, nesting, the science of flight, migration, attracting birds to your garden, and recording what you see.
