Description
RSPB Spotlight: Ducks and Geese is a comprehensive guide to the 30 species of ducks and geese that breed in or regularly visit the UK. With its unique blend of informative colour photos and concise, detailed text, this book offers a fascinating insight into the lives of these birds.
From their evolution and place in the natural world, to their anatomy and physiology, feeding methods, courtship displays, and breeding behaviour, Marianne Taylor explores every aspect of these birds' lives. She also examines their relationships with humans, including their presence in folklore and literature, and their role in our lives as both prey and pets.
As well as their native habitats, the book also delves into the presence of ducks and geese as feral and sometimes invasive species outside their natural ranges, and their current conservation status within their native wild ranges.
