From the Back Cover

"This is a significant contribution to the fields of birding and ornithology. Mainly, this book will serve as the first thorough summary of this avian group. It also illustrates all species within one volume, something that has not been done before. No other recent book has such extensive and detailed description of the plumages, moults, and general appearance of the thrushes."--Alvaro Jaramillo, author of New World Blackbirds

Store Description

We have been selling books with some success for over twenty years. In 1995, we opened a bookshop in the Peak District village of Castleton and traded successfully there until 2010. In addition to selling through the shop we developed an Internet business and built a reputation for a good and reliable service. The stock, which covers a wide range of subjects, but particularly ornithology and natural history, has constantly been improved, so we now over 9000 volumes of quality books. In March of 2019 we established a shop in the attractive market town of Bakewell in the Peak District National Park. The shop is open five days a week from 10.00 to 17.00 (closed Wednesday and Sunday). Customers are very welcome to visit the shop (tel: 01629 815547) or email books@hawkridge.co.uk
