Description
Rediscover a classic of British nature writing and enter the fascinating world of the much-loved robin redbreast. Complete with a new introduction and essays adding further findings, an updated edition of the landmark ornithological work from 1943, written by leading British ornithologist David Lack (1910-73). Authoritative and approachable, discover that robins sing to defend their territory, even while fighting; that the male robin courts the female by bringing her food; and that British-dwelling robins are unusually tame when compared to their continental cousins. Accompanied by charming black-and-white illustrations by artist Robert Gillmor (1936-2022), this book is sure to delight any gardener who has been followed by ‘their’ robin and a host of bird lovers.
