Birds in London

Focusing on the vibrant bird life in London, this work offers a detailed exploration enriched by illustrations from Bryan Hook and A. D. McCormick. Authored by William Henry Hudson, a noted naturalist and ornithologist originally from Argentina, the book reflects his deep understanding of nature, shaped by his early studies of local flora and fauna. Settling in England, Hudson became renowned for his writings on the countryside, which significantly impacted the back-to-nature movement of the early 20th century.
