A Year of Bird Migrations discovers nature’s most extraordinary journeys through some of the most intrepid avian species on our planet.

From swallows and artic terns crossing the skies between summer and wintering grounds, great snipes making non-stop flights of up to 7000km and albatrosses circling the globe as they ride the ‘Roaring Forties’ winds on the Southern Hemisphere, the scope of our avian life’s journeys are astounding. Whether travelling for warmer climes, increased food sources or breeding grounds, migrating birds are equipped with incredible resources to help them on their way – some species even have tiny bits of magnetic material in their brains which act as an internal compass!

With several entries for each migrating bird over the course of a single year, discover the different points along each route and the incredible distances that are covered, as well as the challenges faced and the ways in which climate change is affecting these ancient routes. Also included are full colour illustrations which depict each bird as well as maps which plot the flight lines. This book is perfect for the bird-lover in your life, or anyone who is interested to find out more about the fascinating journeys of our planet’s avian life.
