Fülszöveg

A flight of geese against a winter sunset, ducks on a village pond, or screamers in the South American pampas - all are part of the world's wealth of wildfowl. Here, for the first time, are nearly all the known species of wildfowl illustrated in full colour, in a book which is the combination of an expert text and outstanding photographs.

Their winter programmes of Wildfowl Trust film shows have been enjoyed and applauded, throughout Great Britain, by tens of thousands. They are also natural history authors of considerable scope. The 128 colour plates are by some of the world's leading bird and wildlife photographers, including work by the authors. The plates are enhanced by the inclusion of distribution maps and the informative line illustrations by Joe Blossom,... Tovább

The 128 colour plates are by some of the world's leading bird and wildlife photographers, including work by the authors. The plates are enhanced by the inclusion of distribution maps and the informative line illustrations by Joe Blossom, Education Officer of the Wildfowl Trust, give distinctive details of each species. In addition, there are details of where to see wildfowl, both in the wild and on reserves, in most parts of the world. In all probability, the book could become a standard work. The Foreword has been specially written by Robert Arbib, Editor of the National Audubon Society's American Birds. Vissza
