The Life of the Robin
Pelican Book A266. 1st Edition, published 1953.
An in-depth, observational account of the British Robin and it's behavioral ecology in the 1950s. Good to read to understand observational technique and learn how one studied birds at that time. Although the language is a bit dated, it has stood the test of time remarkably well. Anyone interested in their garden birds will find something new, whether it is about territorial aggression or mate recognition or migration.
Condition grading: Good. Some foxing and light marks to both covers. Pen word to title page (‘wilde’). Very minor wear to spine ends. Binding tight. The photographs form part of the description.
