Birds' Nests, Eggs and Egg-Collecting

Richard Kearton

A nest is a bird's autobiography, written in moss, mud, and horsehair. Richard Kearton opens the craft of finding and identifying nests and eggs across the British countryside, with the fieldcraft and ethics of a pioneering wildlife watcher. Practical, illustrated, and full of hedgerow lore. For the young naturalist learning to read a hedge without disturbing what lives in it.
