TITS BOOBIES AND LOONS (HB)

The monotonous lark. The rough-faced shag. Given these examples, we ask ourselves: are ornithologists okay? This book exposes all the weird and wonderful monikers our poor feathered friends have been lumbered with. From the go-away-bird and the common loon to the sad flycatcher and the sombre tit, we seriously wonder why such disturbed people went into this line of work. Tits, Boobies and Loons is for all fans of birds, language and rude words. And anyone who secretly considers themselves a bit of a red-rumped bush tyrant.
