One of the world' s leading bird experts and writers Dominic Couzens takes you on a journey around the world to listen to 52 amazing birdsongs, one for every week of the year. From the Nightingale' s song that has inspired the finest poetry to the mating song of the Lyrebird in Australia, from caged bird sounds to the Blackbird' s influence on classical music. The latest research on the cuckoo call sits next to duets of the Lawrence' s thrush. All aspects of birdsong are covered, from why birds sing and bird behaviour to the musicality of the notes, from birdsong in art to the the power of birdsong in bird communication. Each of these fascinating stories are accompanied by stunning illustrations by award-winning artist Madeleine Floyd and a QR code to let you listen to the actual birdsong while you read. Immerse yourself in the wonder of birdsong. After a year of upheaval, this is the perfect tonic whether you are an avid birdwatcher or just want to understand the beautiful soundtrack to our natural world.
Dominic Couzens has written many books on birds and birdwatching, including two books published by Collins: Identifying Birds by Behaviour and Birds of Britain and Ireland. He is a leader of specialised bird tours both at home and abroad, and is a regular contributor to Birdwatch and BBC Wildlife magazines. Madeleine Floyd is one of Britain' s best-loved artists. She works from her studio in London and is widely commissioned around the world. Madeleine' s creative talent is one of remarkable depth and diversity. She paints, she draws, she writes and she illustrates. This versatility allows Madeleine to produce hugely successfulexhibitions, write and illustrate her own books. She has a particular passion for wildlife.
