RSPB Spotlight Kingfishers

Product Description

We put a truly elegant & noble bird at the centre of this new RSPB Spotlight book: the kingfisher. Often spotted by the banks of a river, most of us are aware of kingfisher's but know very little about their day to day life & behaviour. With their typical long bills & bright blue plumage, the Common Kingfishers is instantly recognisable but did you know that there are over ninety species that belong to this colourful family? David Chandler celebrates their remarkable existence, studying their unique adaptations & their courtship, breeding & feeding habits. He also investigates historical threats to Kingfishers, considers their future, & offers practical advice on how to find & see these glorious birds.
