Remarkable Birds

We share the Earth with more than 10,000 species of birds and we have always been enchanted by them. In this fascinating compendium Mark Avery celebrates their wonderful beauty and amazing variety. Covering all aspects of our relationship with birds, Avery showcases nearly seventy species, from virtuosic songbirds like the Skylark to such majestic hunters as the fierce Harpy Eagle, from dazzling Birds of Paradise and the Sacred Ibis to those that have vanished or are on the brink of extinction. Illuminated with exquisite ornithological illustrations, prints and drawings, this beautifully illustrated book is a visual treat that will inspire, inform and delight.
