Zustand: New. 304, 150+ col photos, maps and charts. . PB. NEW. . The Marsh Tit and the Willow Tit are two small birds of woodlands and forests extending from Great Britain to Japan. They are resourceful, resilient, vocal and bold. Both species are an important part of our natural heritage and are sentinels of our wooded ecosystems, sensitive to habitat changes that send their populations into decline and signalling problems in these precious habitats.

pp.304 with colour photos. and figs. 8vo. New hardback in new dw., off-mint with a minor abrasion to spine of dw., which is now in a removable clear protective sleeve. RRP £60.00. In this first monograph for either species, Richard Broughton reveals the intricacies of the remarkable lives of these birds, bringing together decades of personal study and a detailed review of the wider research from Europe and Asia. We learn about each species' taxonomy, communication, food and foraging patterns, habitats, social organisation, breeding behaviour, dispersal and the survival of individuals, as well as exploring the challenges they face and their future prospects.
