“Tracks and Signs of the Birds of Britain and Europe” by Roy Brown, John Ferguson, Michael Lawrence and David Lees .
I have just finished reading this fantastically detailed book. The title pretty much says it all – it is a field guide to help identify the habitats, remains and signs of life resulting from the presence of birds. Really for ornithologists in the field, it is nevertheless full of interesting information for the casual but interested reader. The chapters dealing with pellets, prey remains and skulls may be a bit specialist there is lots of fascinating information in the chapters dealing with bird nests, eggs and feathers that can help the casual observer make sense of things they may find or see in the natural environment.
