Forlagets egen omtale:
Although
the majority of the world’s Herons live in the tropics and subtropics, Europe
is home to nine species, some large, some small, some colonial, some solitary
breeders. Highly specialized birds, they exhibit many interesting differences in
their behaviour and ecology and are a favourite group for many ornithologists.
Voisin begins her book with a general description of the family before going on
to treat each species in more detail. The species accounts summarize such topics
as field characters, distribution, population size, breeding and feeding ecology
and behaviour.
