Fully updated and expanded, this beautifully illustrated field guide
showcases the full range of wildlife that can be found in the British
garden.
Even the smallest garden can be an important haven for wildlife, and
this authoritative guide enables everyone to explore this wealth on
their back doorstep. It covers all the main animal groups--including
pond life--likely to be found in a garden in Great Britain and Ireland.
Detailed descriptions and information on life history, behaviour and
occurrence are provided for more than 500 species, as well as practical
information on creating a pond for wildlife, making nestboxes and
feeding birds. Richard Lewington, acknowledged as one of the finest
natural history artists in Europe, has teamed up with his brother Ian,
one of our most respected bird artists, to provide nearly 1,000 superbly
detailed color artworks to complement the text. Presented in an
accessible, easy-to-use format, this fully updated and expanded edition
covers everything from blue tits to bumblebees and hedgehogs to
hawkmoths.
