Omschrijving
Wildfowl and screamers belong to a highly diverse family of birds, confined to watery habitats. This book gives an overview of the family, their taxonomy and evolution, feeding ecology, breeding strategies, social behaviour, movements and migrations, population dynamics, and conservation and management, followed by accounts of 165 species.
A book that would be a welcome edition to any serious wildfowlers bookshelf.
It is a joy to open a book of this quality, whose scholarship is matched by its handsome presentation and stunning illustrations. The London Naturalist, No.84, 2005
These volumes provide an excellent introduction to wildfowl families of the world and would provide sound reference material for both student and enthusiast, captivating the reader with fine illustrations and well-written material
Bird books don't come any better than this: The sweep of knowledge and the confidence and clarity of the exposition cannot fail to give pleasure.
