The Oxford book of British bird names
The Oxford Book of British Bird Names is the first work of its kind to provide informed accounts of the history and the origin of English bird names. It fills a gap on the bookshelves of bird lovers and linguists alike, and will be an eyes opener to both. Arranged in dictionary form for easy reference, the book contains some 1500 names relating to 257 species and covers all the commoner birds plus a fair sample of the less usual visitors to Britain.
