A Dictionary of English and Folk-Names of British Birds (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781445503905)

Originally published in 1913. This fascinating book contains detailed information on nearly 5000 bird names, including provincial, local and dialect names indicating the locality and meaning where possible. The Welsh, Gaelic, Cornish and some Irish names have also been added. Many of the earliest bird books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Home Farm Books are republishing many of these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
