A Second Book of British Birds and their Nests Brian Vesey-Fitzgerald Illustrations: Allen W. Seaby Here is another book about British birds and their nests. I have written this second one because you liked the first book so much, and I hope you will enjoy this one just as well. Once again, Allen Seaby has given you lovely coloured pictures of the birds I have written about. They are all quite common birds, though you will have to visit the sea-coast to see some of them. I have tried to tell you where to look for each bird, a little about its habits and also its nests."Birds of Britain and Europe Roger Tory Peterson, Guy Mountford, P.A.D. Hollom, Collins Field Guides
