Featuring more than 400 species, Encylopedia of Birds offers a window on the world of the extraordinary diversity of birds on our planet. The splendidly detailed photographs reveal the rich variety of birdlife from the beautifully marked, tiny Striated Pardalote of the Eucalyptus forests of Australia to the gigantic, night feeding Wandering Albatross of the southern oceans. In between these two extremes are the common birds that we can see in our everyday locality. The highly informative text coupled with the stunning clarity of the close up photography, educates by providing details of each individual bird's size, habitat and habits, while explaining breeding and nesting patterns. Encylopedia of Birds is ideal for anyone interested in birdlife: from the avid bird watcher to anyone who takes their time to observe the several bird species encountered everyday.
