Nature Through The Seasons by Gerrard, Peter A - 1977

Readers Union, 1977. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Lord, John. h/b 182 pages, condition is very good. Nature changes not only with the season but also at the hand of man and the elements. This book records the natural changes in Britain's flora and fauna throughout the year. It describes in detail many unexpected facets of country lore - the unprepossessing nesting habits of the kingfisher, the ease with which those 'in the know' can see the supposedly retiring badger, the formation of galls and the real cause of the migration of birds, not, as is generally supposed, due to a drop in the temperature in autumn. Whether you are out for a sunday stroll with the family or intent upon a more scientific examination of the countryside, this is the book for you.
