Worth a look, and then another look

You can get a sneak preview of one chapter of my new book, and so much more, by walking into your local WH Smith or similar and buying this annual.

My article is about bird reintroductions and covers some of the material of Chapter 8 in Fighting for Birds – 25 years in nature conservation.

Do you know what gender the kingfisher on the cover is? And how can you tell?

You can also buy this beautiful volume online here.

 

 

Yes it’s a male kingfisher.  Females have orange lower mandibles – it’s the lipstick you see?

    It’s male. Females wear lipstick (on their lower bills anyway).
