The Life of the Robin

Unknown Author

4.9/5 (11477 ratings)

Description:The Robin has long been Britain's favourite bird, a friendly presence in thousands of gardens, year round. Yet its life was hardly understood when David Lack - who has been called Britain's most influential ornithologist - started his scientific observations of robins while a schoolteacher at Dartington Hall. It was Lack who established that robins sing to defend their territory; that males will fight to the death but will also feed injured opponents; that couples will court and mate but then ignore each other; that most robins will die in any given year. The book he wrote is a landmark in natural history, not just for discoveries that changed ornithology but because of the approachable style, sharpened with an acute wit. It reads as freshly today as when it was first written. An introduction by David Lindo, the Urban Birder, and essays by David Harper and Peter Lack bring the story of The Life of the Robin up to date. No one who has enjoyed the company of these fascinating birds in their garden or on a walk will want to be without this book.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
