Whether you own several acres of garden in the remote countryside or a window-box in an urban area, observing the behaviour of garden birds, from acrobatic tits to blackbirds in full song, can be an intensely rewarding pastime. Garden Bird Behaviour explores a wide range of bird behaviour including courtship, territorial behaviour, singing, nesting, flying, feeding, and migration; it's an invaluable guide that will help you get the most out of your birdwatching hobby. Written in a personal and encouraging style, with wonderful photographs and colour artwork, Garden Bird Behaviour is as enjoyable to read as it is informative. The emphasis is on observing the birds that frequent your garden and taking time to spot the different characteristics of each species as they feed, interact or raise their young, in order to gradually build up a comprehensive understanding of their behaviour.
