Around the World in 80 Birds HC25 Trapped in her role asThis beautiful and inspiring book tells the stories of 80 birds around the world: from the Sociable Weaver Bird in Namibia which constructs huge, multi nest 'apartment blocks' in the desert, to the Bar headed Goose of China, one of the highest flying migrants which crosses the Himalayas twice a year. Many birds come steeped in folklore and myth, some are national emblems and a few have inspired scientific revelation or daring conservation projects.
