Year with the Birds

An Oxford scholar steps out of the library and into the meadows. W. Warde Fowler spent a full year watching the birds of college gardens, riverside walks, and Alpine holidays, and this beloved book gathers what he saw and heard month by month. His blend of learning and plain delight made it a classic of English nature writing. Bird lovers will enjoy a year in excellent company, told in a voice as warm and unhurried as a long spring evening.
