Bird Migration

Dominic Couzens

Few types of behaviour are more fascinating than migration. We know that birds can travel vast distances with accuracy, but how they do it is still something of a mystery. This book focuses on what the birder might ask, and has many practical hints and tips, as well as scientific findings.

Detailed descriptions of different types of migration and the reasons for migration. Reveals how birds know where to go, when to go and how to get there, by explaining the workings of the internal programme, the sun and star compasses and the role of magnetic fields. An easy-to-follow table makes identifying all British migratory birds straightforward. 136 pages.
