Foreword by Sir Peter Scott. Illustrated and Indexed.
This book provides an introduction to the biology and lifestyles of shorebirds of the world, illustrated by an outstanding collection of photographs which has taken almost a lifetime to amass.
The authoritative text, contributed by wader expert Bill Hale, describes the different species within the group, their evolution, feeding habits, and breeding and behaviour patterns. Of special interest is the chapter relating to seasonal movements, in which details of these birds' incredible migrations - over several thousand miles - are discussed.
This superb book, which features over 125 full colour photographs plus 80 in black and white, will appeal to ornithologists, bird-lovers and photographers alike.
