WILD AIR: IN SEARCH OF BIRDSONG (PB)

James Macdonald Lockhart’s granny was given a highly unusual task: to listen to birds’ songs and calls and relay what she heard to her aged and quite deaf father, the famous naturalist Seton Gordon. In this book, James explores eight of his favourite bird species in the same way. Taking in nightjars on a lowland heath, dippers on a river, skylarks in farmland - as well as ravens, shearwaters, divers, lapwings and nightingales - this is an introduction through eye and ear to these birds and the places they are found, from the Outer Hebrides to the south of England.
