The Yellow Wagtail : 4

Part of the legendary Collins New Naturalist series, this classic monograph focuses on the Yellow Wagtail, one of Britain's most charming and distinctive birds. Originally published between 1948 and 1971, the New Naturalist monographs have been unavailable for over forty years—until now.

While the mainstream New Naturalist volumes explored broad subjects such as wildflowers, insects or National Parks, this parallel series of monographs offered detailed studies of single species or related groups. Written to the same exacting standards as the main series, these shorter works were presented in a compact format and featured the same stunning, distinctive cover illustrations by artists Clifford and Rosemary Ellis that helped inspire an entire generation of nature enthusiasts.

This edition has been lovingly produced from an original copy, making it possible once again to own these influential and best-selling natural history classics that form part of the longest-running and arguably most important natural history series in the world.
