Summary
Details

First published in 1928, this vintage book contains a detailed guide to game birds, with a special focus on those native to England. Including lots of useful and interesting information, this profusely-illustrated handbook will appeal to those with an interest in hunting, and it would make for a fine addition to ornithological collections. Contents include: Game Birds in General , Characteristics and Classification of Game Birds , Coloration of Game Birds , The Moult of Game birds , Game Bird Hybrids , British Game Birds , The Pheasant , The Partridge , The Red-legged Partridge , The Quail , The Grouse , The Black Grouse , The Snipe , The Jack Snipe , etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction.
