The life of birds

This fully updated edition of David Attenborough’s bestselling classic, with the latest discoveries in ornithology, is a brilliant introduction to bird behaviours around the world. Birds are the most widespread of all animals on earth - found in the Sahara and under the sea, at home in our gardens or flying for over a year at a time. Sir David shows the lifelong pleasure that birds around us offer, and how much we miss if we fail to pay them the attention they deserve.
