|London: Almark Publishing, , 1975. Hardcover. Near Fine/good. About 9.5 x 8 inches. 64pp. Dust wrapper a little frayed. Although it may seem surprising to many people, cities, towns and their suburbs attract about one third of the species of British birds. Pigeons and sparrows are familiar to every city dweller, but few would expect to see some of the less common species, such as the heron or kestrel, which can be found in an urban environment. Central parks, industrial areas, reservoirs and suburban gardens all offer different sets of conditions which different birds can take advantage of. The author describes the appearance and behaviour of those birds which either visit or permanently live in towns. He also describes the type of urban habitat in which the birds can be seen and the way in which they have adapted to life in built up areas. The text is illustrated with 40 colour photographs taken by wildlife photographer Brian Hawkes and many black and white photographs. ISBN: 0855242310. Read More

Sussex: : Flare Books, 1977. , 1977. Hardcover. Near Fine/near fine. . 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. 192pp. 48 photographs 23 drawings and a map. The first detailed, authoritative, modern guide to the entire natural history of the county of Sussex. This abundantly illustrated, attractive book covers every aspect of the subject. Written with verve, it holds the reader's interest throughout and makes available a mass of information in handy form. The author, Christopher Haes, is a leading figure in the Sussex Trust for Nature Conservation, whose supporters have grown dramatically in the past five years. In many ways Sussex is an ideal place for the naturalist, with a wide range of unspoiled habitats and most places of interest to the naturalist being accessible. There are few places where one cannot enjoy the small-scale but beautiful scenery, culminating in such memorable features as the view north from Duncton Down, Ditchling Beacon, or the spectacular cliffs of the Seven Sisters. The book opens with an outline of the main features of the Sussex countryside and includes chapters dealing with the life of the wood lands, hedgerows and road verges, the chalk, pastures, meadows, wet lands, heath-lands and the coast. Valuable and detailed information is given about birds and bird reserves, good observation-areas, mammal life, the reptiles, amphibia and freshwater fish. A selection of the invertebrates are given in two substantial chapters. ISBN: 0855272392. Read More
