The natural history of British birds, one of the Rowland Wards series of book for sportsmen. Covers all birds in the British Isles including those which visited but rarely such as the great Auck and the belted kingfisher. Almost all photos are those of birds mounted in the Rowland Ward Studios and this book should rightfully be seen as the very first versions of the concept of a Field Guide for birds.
