Silence Of The Songbirds
Migratory songbirds are disappearing at a frightening rate. By some estimates, we may have already lost almost half the songbirds that filled the skies only 40 years ago.

About the book
Following the birds on their extraordinary 10,000-kilometre migratory journey, this book examines the most threatening factors in their extinction, from pesticides—still a major concern decades after Rachel Carson first raised the alarm—to the destruction of vital habitat, and from the bright lights and structures in our cities, which are a minefield for migrating birds, to climate change. We may well wake up in the near future and hear no songbirds singing. We won't only be missing their cheery calls, we'll be missing a vital part of our ecosystem.
