Description
"James Hancock has spent a lifetime in pursuit of herons and the secrets of their ecology. In this book, the only complete review of the world's herons currently in print, he distils his knowledge into a concise review of all 47 species and recognised subspecies. The text comprises a thumbnail sketch, and descriptions of the appearance, distribution, conservation status, feeding and breeding ecology of each species. Over 150 wonderful color photographs, most by the author, show all the recognisable forms of each species, illustrating the variety and beauty of these birds."--BOOK JACKET.
First Sentence
In the evening they flight in like ducks to gather at a roost beneath which they leap-frog over each other as they feed and quarrel before settling down in the trees.
