Wildfowl

Collins New Naturalist #110

by David Cabot

The latest volume in the popular New Naturalist series is a detailed account of the evolution and classification of the wildfowl of Britain and Ireland. David Cabot, an expert in his field, looks at population trends and life cycles in three case studies of best known species—the swan, goose, and duck, along with wildfowl behavior, courtship, and breeding. This comprehensive exploration of what sets British wildfowl apart from other birds also considers the relationships between wildfowl and man, through popular mythology and legends.

[I Read]

Aside from the pictures and few interesting passages dotted throughout the book, this book wasn't for me. The information it contained wasn't what I had expected, most of which I didn't find engaging.

I would say this is for those who are more serious about Wildfowl.
