Whether you own several acres of garden in the remote countryside or a window-box in an urban area, observing the behaviour of garden birds, from acrobatic tits to blackbirds in full song, can be an intensely rewarding pastime. Garden Bird Behaviour explores a wide range of bird behaviour including courtship, territorial behaviour, singing, nesting, flying, feeding, and migration; it's an invaluable guide that will help you get the most out of your birdwatching hobby. Written in a personal and encouraging style, with wonderful photographs and colour artwork, Garden Bird Behaviour is as enjoyable to read as it is informative.
