About this book
Local names of the mistle thrush, from Holm Screech in the west of England to Penn y llwyn in Wales, show the kind of detail C. A. Johns gives in this field guide to British birds. Each entry describes plumage, size, eggs and young, then habits, song and folklore, with the author disagreeing openly with Waterton and Knapp about the bird's voice.
Birds are arranged by order and family, and the opening pages list the identifying marks of groups such as grebes, fulmars, shearwaters and petrels with page references. Johns was a clergyman and naturalist.
