The cliffs come alive with wings in nesting season, and Charles Dixon knows every voice in the crowd. His survey of British sea birds sorts the gulls and terns, the great and lesser black-backs, the kittiwake, and the piratical skuas, with habits and haunts for each. Salt-sprayed Victorian ornithology. For readers who love a rocky coast full of clamor.

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.
