Product Information

As well as looking at familiar creatures, such as bees, ladybirds and ants, it also features other more unusual specimens, including fireflies, stick insects and some spectacular mantises. The British Wildlife Collection, which is published by Bloomsbury Publishing, comprises a series of books, each covering an individual aspect of British natural history. December's habitat management news highlights a case study that demonstrates the positive changes mountain bikers have brought to Shotover Hill's invertebrate fauna in Oxfordshire.

December's wildlife reports discuss the invasive non-native Gibel Carp, the finding of the harvestman Scotolemon doriae in Bristol, records of Alpine Wood-fern at Heathercombe on Dartmoor, the usual update on moths, reptiles and amphibians, and bats, and much more. This informative photographic guide will help nature enthusiasts visiting the seashore to discover and quickly and accurately identify the animals and plants commonly found in the coastal areas of Britain. Offering quality literature within your provision supports a love of reading and enables children to learn so much more about the world around them. The book is illustrated with beautiful photographs throughout, the perfect seashore companion for ‘staycation’ travelling nature enthusiasts as well as general natural history buffs.

The book delightfully presents such colourful images with a useful comprehensiveness - it is such a helpful teaching resource that enhances one's knowledge of the fauna and flora in one's own locality, and far more! Here, the authors highlight recent work to define and describe these communities, raising awareness of these unique habitats. The Wildlife Community is all about gaining a deeper understanding of who or what is visiting our gardens and wild spaces.

Extend outdoor learning by including reading materials about our natural world, to encourage early curiosity and enquiry skills. The cover may have some limited signs of wear but the pages are clean, intact and the spine remains undamaged. For each species, it has a nice little range map that has a lighter color for areas of less density as well as the usual full colored range area, then a description of a general impression of the animal, a section describing the adult (male and female) and juvenile, a note on their "voice", and then a section on their status. Discover over 1,200 species of animals and plants found in the coastal regions of Britain and make the most of your surroundings, whether you are on a holiday browse or serious quest.

Nature lovers will adore British Wildlife, as it’s as comprehensive a compendium of animals you could come across in the UK.
