Summary
Details

First published in 1925, this volume contains an interesting account of an ornithological trip to the Danube Delta, the second largest river delta in Europe primarily situated in Romania and the Ukraine. It offers brief descriptions of the countries travelled through and their people, but focuses on what the two English men got up to and what they saw in the way of bird life. This interesting and entertaining chronicle will appeal to ornithologists and birdwatchers, as well as those with an interest in the people and places of early 20th century Europe and travel writing in general. Contents include: Tulcea , The Balta , The Forest at Cocos , The Forest at Greci , The Forest at Ciucurova , Expedition to the Delta , The Black Sea Coast , List of Birds Observed in the Dobrogea and Danube Delta , etc. Many vintage books such as this are 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.
