Bird lovers, rejoice! This is simply a lovely book and well worth a look.

This title is divided into two broad sections. They are Birds of the World and Bird Relationships. Dip in anywhere and enjoy the absolutely gorgeous (!) illustrations and the interesting text.

This is a book to savor and would make a wonderful gift for a bird lover.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Timber Press. All thoughts are my own.
