Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first comprehensive avifauna for the London area ever published covering the status, distribution and history of every species on the regional list in rich detail. The parks, reservoirs, rooftops and gardens of London – here defined as the area within 20 miles of St Paul's Cathedral – have a surprisingly rich avifauna, including a healthy population of one of Britain's rarest breeders, the Black Redstart. The region also has a remarkable list of rarities – in recent years Canary Wharf has proven to be a magnet for vagrants, while one of the very few British records of Tengmalm's Owl hails from Plaistow - an unfortunate bird stoned to death by local urchins in 1877. Some species, like the Peregrine Falcon, Black-headed Gull and Ring-necked Parakeet, have seen their fortunes soar over recent decades; others, such as House Sparrow, have suffered a population collapse, while as recently as a century ago, the London area had breeding populations of birds such as Wryneck and Red-backed Shrike, which are now nationally extinct. The County Avifauna series provides detailed information on the range and status of bird species at county level. Areas covered in the series so far include Norfolk, Suffolk, Dorset, the Shetland Islands, Leicestershire and Rutland, Essex and Gwent. Each title covers all species on the county list, with a breakdown of rarity records, and there are introductory sections describing the area's ecology, climate, weather patterns, its ornithological history and conservation record, as well as an in-depth review of the best sites to visit.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This early work by William Henry Hudson was originally published in 1898 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory essay. 'Birds in London' gives a compelling account of bird life in London, beautifully illustrated by Bryan Hook and A. D. McCormick. William Henry Hudson was born in 1841 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He was an author, naturalist, and ornithologist. He spent his youth studying native plants and animals, resulting in the publication of 'Proceedings of the Royal Zoological Society'. In the early 1870s, Hudson settled in England and achieved fame with his books on the English countryside, including 'Hampshire Day' (1903), 'Afoot in England' (1909) and 'A Shepherd's Life' (1910), which were considered to have influenced the back-to-nature movement of the 1920s and 1930s.

Download or read book The Ravenmaster written by Christopher Skaife and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2018-10-02 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For centuries, the Tower of London has been home to a group of famous avian residents: the ravens. Each year they are seen by millions of visitors, and they have become as integral a part of the Tower as its ancient stones. But their role is even more important than that—legend has it that if the ravens should ever leave, the Tower will crumble into dust and great harm will befall the kingdom. The responsibility for ensuring that such a disaster never comes to pass falls to one man: the Ravenmaster. The current holder of the position is Yeoman Warder Christopher Skaife, and in this fascinating, entertaining and touching book he memorably describes the ravens’ formidable intelligence, their idiosyncrasies and their occasionally wicked sense of humour. The Ravenmaster is a compelling, inspiring and irreverent story that will delight and surprise anyone with an interest in British history or animal behaviour.
