I recommend it to all students, researchers and amateur ornithologists interested in avian ecology and behaviour.' Tamás Székely, Trends in Ecology and Evolution '… a valuable book that will be of particular interest to ornithologists and would serve as a useful supplement in ornithology courses.' Charles R. Brown, Animal Behaviour ' … an interesting read and should have a broad appeal to all ornithologists.' Ibis 'Hansell's book contains loads of information that will be both helpful to the scientist and interesting to the enthusiast. … is thorough, engaging, and fun to read.
