RSPB Guide to Birdsong

Mehr zum Buch

The first ever RSPB-endorsed audio and print guide to enjoying and understanding the birdsong of Britain's best known bird species. Birdsong is one of the greatest and most accessible wildlife pleasures that people can experience, even in urban areas. Wild sounds in nature have the power to lift people's spirits; they have inspired poets and composers and can evoke time, place and season. Wild sounds can also carry powerful conservation messages--the reduction in birdsong in our countryside is a potent signal and a symbol of the loss of nature. The reality, however, is that many people don't understand or recognize what they are listening to in nature.
