Glimpses of Indian Birds
Douglas Dewar
In an Indian garden the magpie-robin sings while a snake-bird dries its wings by the water. Douglas Dewar introduces the birds of the subcontinent, from flashing minivets and pied woodpeckers to the pied crested cuckoo, with an eye for habit and character. Lively, affectionate field sketches from a keen observer. For the birdwatcher curious about the wildlife of India.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
