Description
A lavish celebration of the seabirds of the British Isles. Seabirds are the living links between land, air and sea, enjoying a freedom that even humans can barely imagine. Their journeys take them across vast distances before returning to breed in large colonies. The long coastline of the British Isles provides homes for many internationally important breeding seabird species. Visiting their colonies is always unforgettable, with Guillemots on cliff-faces, Gannets on islands, Arctic Terns on beaches and gulls on seaside rooftops. The changing fortunes of these seabird cities reveal the health of the marine world surrounding us. This book features beautiful photographs of wild seabirds engaged in their daily activities, including hunting, travelling, protecting themselves and their territories, courting and raising a family. With detailed biographies of all breeding seabird species in the British Isles, it showcases these vital birds as living components of our greatest natural asset: our coastline.
