Part of the prestigious Collins New Naturalist series, this classic monograph offers an intimate study of one of our most familiar seabirds. Originally published between 1948 and 1971, the New Naturalist monographs focused on single species or related groups, and are now available again for the first time in over forty years.

The New Naturalist monographs maintained the same high standards as the main series, presented in a compact format of around 50,000 words. Each volume featured the stunning, distinctive cover illustrations by artists Clifford and Rosemary Ellis that helped inspire an entire new generation of nature enthusiasts.

This edition is produced from an original copy by William Collins, preserving the quality and charm of a series that remains the longest-running and arguably most influential natural history collection in the world, with over 100 volumes published across more than 60 years.
