Walked through a flea market scratching myself this afternoon and found a cracking book. It is 'All the Birds of the Air. by Francesca Greenoak and covers the folklore, various names and some explanations of their names. I picked it up for £6 down from £6.50 (move over Dave Dickinson!).
It looks very good and I wondered about starting a light hearted competition by listing the various names of each bird in a thread and giving a day for folk to gues the British Name of the bird, going through the book with a league table for the ones who get it right. I will need to trust people who have this book already to refrain from entering.
What do you all think? Will any of the moderators tell me if this is alright to go ahead with, it is an out of print book after all.
