Details

“British Birds in their Haunts (1919) by Rev. C.A. Johns is a beautifully written and richly illustrated work that combines ornithology with natural history. This book provides an in-depth look at British birds, focusing not only on their physical characteristics but also on their habitats, behavior, and interactions with the environment. The author, a well-known clergyman and naturalist, brings his keen observations and love of nature to the forefront, capturing the essence of birdlife in the British Isles during the early 20th century. The book is divided into sections based on different types of birds, from common species to more rare and elusive ones. Through detailed descriptions and vivid accounts of the birds’ haunts, Johns paints a picture of the landscapes these creatures inhabit, whether it be woodlands, wetlands, or coastal areas. The work is enhanced by beautiful illustrations, some of which are original artwork and others based on the author’s own sketches or observations.”
