An accompanying full-colour guide explores the historical background to how recordings of bird songs and calls have developed and been appreciated over the years along with species accounts of the behaviour of all of our common birds. Collins Bird Songs and Calls will help you to quickly appreciate the wonderful range of bird voices and discover just what bird song is all about. A walk in the park will never be the same again.
