David Tipling

A new title from David Tipling, who is renowned as one of the world's very best bird photographers. David has trekked to remote and beautiful locations around the world - from Antarctica to the Arctic and many points in between - to capture birds in their natural habitat going about their daily lives. In this title he showcases 200 of his most stunning images. Each picture has an extended caption of around 250 words, giving the stories behind the pictures, with background information on the species and location and - most important for the many budding nature photographers out there - technical details of the images. The book is illustrated with what the author considers to be his very best pictures taken over nearly three decades. These are laid out chronologically. This is a beautifully illustrated book and it will make a great read for both birdwatchers and photographers alike.

The National Parks and Other Wild Places of Britain and Ireland

Mike Unwin

A visually stunning, photographically driven celebration of bird migration--one of the great marvels of the natural world The vast transcontinental journeys made every year by millions of feathered migrants were not known to naturalists before the late nineteenth century. Even today, while cutting-edge technology such as geolocators and isotope analysis helps us map these journeys in detail, much of the science remains poorly understood. In this luxuriously illustrated volume, celebrated nature writer Mike Unwin and award-winning photographer David Tipling highlight sixty-seven different species of birds from around the world and explore how each has adapted to its migratory cycle. As they bring to life the drama of the Bar-headed Goose's journey over the Himalayas and the amazing sixty-thousand-mile annual round trip taken by the Arctic Tern between the United Kingdom and Antarctica, Unwin and Tipling offer deep insights into the science, mysteries, and wonders of migration.
