Enchantment by Birds: A history of birdwatching in 22 species

Enchantment by Birds offers a fresh appreciation of the magic of birds and how watching them fulfils a human need to connect with nature. Breaking new ground in history-writing, Enchantment by Birds is structured around birds rather than time or people or any conventional historical guidepost. Each chapter focusses on an Australian bird and an aspect of birding connected with that species, elaborating on both to illuminate the interface between human and avian worlds. It not only offers a compelling exposition of what makes birders tick, but also tells us, imaginatively and informatively, why birds have a special place in our hearts.
