British Wildlife: A photographic guide to every common species (Collins Complete Guide)

Product Information

Becoming Wild shows that ‘natural’ doesn’t always come naturally. Many animals learn from elders almost everything; getting answers to questions of how to live where one lives; learning skills, dangers, group-identity, communication dialects, and survival traditions that define their existence. Every spring, trees and shrubs across the land burst into a riot of song from a famously musical group of birds - the warblers. Here we get to grips with their songs and how to tell them apart by sound alone. With Merlin's lyrical and poetic tone, Entangled Lifehas the allure of nature or travel writing, but his meticulous research into the latest in scientific understanding of fungi makes this is a must-read for lovers of popular science, too.

Find how to tell them apart and when to see them with our top identification tips. Collecting nature finds is a lovely way to feel closer to the wildlife on your doorstep. Some of the most abundant of these treasures are feathers, and you can find them almost anywhere. But which bird left them behind?Every year, millions of birds make incredible journeys across the planet, spanning continents and flying for months on end. We’re used to birds migrating over winter to head towards warmer climes, but we don’t often stop to think about how remarkable this really is. How does the arctic tern travel from its arctic breeding grounds to its summer home in the Antarctic? And how does the swift stay in the air for ten months at a time? The UK is home to a number of moths that are active during the day, many of which rival butterflies for colour and beauty. Which species might you encounter on a summer's walk? A message from Britain's favourite naturalist and broadcaster on the Earth, climate change and our responsibilities to the environment. From fluffy bumblebees to pint-sized mining bees, we take a look at the key characteristics of some of our most common species. Lichen can be very visible on branches and bark at this time of year. They can be really difficult to identify, but here are seven common lichens that grow on trees.
