Whether you have been watching birds for quite a while or whether you have just started to get interested, Bird Behaviour will help you to see birds quite differently. Find out how to tell if a bird is nesting, resting, trying to attract a mate or doing something out of the ordinary. Like us, birds sometimes do odd things! You will be amazed at what they get up to.

Understanding what birds do and why they do it makes birdwatching more exciting. You start to see things you never noticed before. Why does a Blackbird sit on the grass with its wings outstretched and its beak open? Why do you sometimes see broken snail shells around a stone?

The Hamlyn Young Ornitologists´ Guides to the birds of Britain and Europe are totally new concept in bird books for enthusiasts between 8 and 14 years old. Written by experts from the Young Ornithologists´ Club and recommended by the RSPB itself, the Guide is visually exciting and packed with information not found elsewhere.
