Birds of Selborne by Gilbert White
Generations of inhabitants have helped shape the English countryside. This title includes observations of the wildlife of the author's village Selborne, describing the habits, colours and songs of birds from lapwings to barn-owls, wrens to house-martins. It includes writings on trees, fossils, bats and rainfall.
Gilbert White (1720-93) was born in his grandfather's vicarage at Selborne, Hampshire. After studying at Oriel College, Oxford, White spent much of the next fifteen years travelling around England but always returned home. Birds of Selborne is taken from his famous work The Natural History of Selborne, a compilation of his correspondences with Thomas Pennant and Daines Barrington, and reputedly the fourth most published book in the English language.
