A comprehensive guide to the birds of the British Isles, and a companion book to both \"The Oxford Books of Wild Flowers\" and \"Garden Flowers\". Containing wonderful painted illustrations, this edition can be easily used as an identification tool, as well as a reference book for those simply curious about British birds. This copy is the 1977 reprint of the original but still contains all the same fascinating bird-related content. The book is in good condition, with minor rips and scuffing present on the dustcover. The spine is in decent condition, however, and the internal pages are clean and crisp, although some foxing is present. The illustrations within also do not show any signs of fading. No highlights or annotations to be seen.
