About the Book: From the creators of The Lost Words, this beautifully illustrated nature and wildlife book celebrates 49 declining and endangered bird species across Britain. Combining lyrical nature writing with exquisite watercolour artwork, it explores each bird’s behaviour, habitat, song, migration, nesting and place in folklore. Alongside detailed species profiles, seven sections explore the wonders of birds—including the nest, egg, beak, song, feather, flight and migration. More than a field guide, this evocative book inspires readers to connect with and protect Britain’s threatened birdlife. A stunning celebration of birds, conservation, nature, wildlife and the natural world for readers of all ages.
