The follow-up to Wild Child - McAnulty's delightful children's guide to nature - A Wild Child's Book of Birds takes readers through the seasons in the company of Britain's avian population.

Divided into four seasonal sections, readers will learn about birdsong, beaks, nests and eggs, the science of flight, migration, what to grow to attract different birds to your garden, what foods to put out on your bird table, and much more.

With further sections on birds of prey, corvids, advice on recording your birdwatching observations, and birds in literature throughout history, this beautiful, fully illustrated nature book will be one to treasure.
