Blurb reads:
Bird Life is an account of bird behaviour based on first-hand observation. It describes how birds see and hear, how they find their food, protect themselves from enemies, communicate with each other, and learn by experience. It gives some account of birds' courtship, nest-building, and rearing of young, with more detailed observations of families of Herring Gulls, Hobbies and Great Tits. There are useful practical hints on birdwatching, and information about bird books, journals and clubs
