Herons, the graceful predators of swamps, wetlands and lake margins, are often the abiding memory for bird lovers after a days birding in the marshes. For the general nature lover, they are a portrait symbol of the wild free places and the grandeur of the natural world. North American herons live in a complex world. Most of them congregate in colonies either large or small, and they are joined by many birds that share their nesting sites. Most of these different species live together in harmony, but inevitably such gatherings attract predators and scavengers. James Hancock, a veteran traveler and lover of herons the world over, gives a pocket guide in words and photographs to the lives of these birds and their, sadly, often endangered habitats. The book seeks to describe the many and varied creatures that make up the world of the herons. Key Features: Over 100 color photographs Anecdotes and personal observation bring the birds to life Reliable in fact, but not heavy-going

Everything you ever wanted to know about the world's herons. This book on herons and bitterns is an authoritative summary of what is currently known about this diverse and fascinating worldwide family of wading birds. It is the result of extensive studies carried out over many years by its distinguished authors on both sides of the Atlantic. The plumages, feeding and breeding behaviour, and ecology of each of the recognised species is illustrated in full-colour with paintings meticulously researched by Robert Gilman and Peter Hayman. A distribution map, based on the latest available information, also shows the range of each species. Because of the widening interest in wading birds, considerable attention is paid to identification in the field. Four identification plates, especially prepared by Robert Gillmor, show all the plumages in each stage of every species and race, of white herons and egrets. This information - invaluable for ornithologists and birdwatchers - has never before been brought together in one volume. References to all the relevant literature on herons and bitterns is included for those who want to make a deeper study of these birds, and the authors have contributed their own considerable experiences gained in the field. The definitive handbook on herons, this book will not only provide the basis for future research and conservation but will also be a source of interest and enjoyment for both birdwatchers and ornithologists.

Although the majority of the world's Herons live in the tropics and subtropics, Europe is home to nine species, some large, some small, some colonial, some solitary breeders. Highly specialized birds, they exhibit many interesting differences in their behaviour and ecology and are a favourite group for many ornithologists. Voisin begins her book with a general description of the family before going on to treat each species in more detail. The species accounts summarize such topics as field characters, distribution, population size, breeding and feeding ecology and behaviour. Numerous figures and tables are accompanied by fine drawings of behaviour by P. L. Suiro and colour and black and white pictures of each species by Gunnar Brusewitz.

This is the first book to deal exclusively with the Australian members of the Family Ardeidae (herons, egrets and bitterns). It gives a comprehensive, easy-to-read account of their origins, classification and biology, and explains the features that distinguish them from other birds. The book devotes a major chapter to the 14 Australian species, covering their distribution and movements, feeding, breeding, population dynamics and conservation. Some of Australia’s herons have become very scarce in the southern half of the continent and are at risk of national or local extinction. In northern Australia heron habitats and resources are largely pristine and consequently this region accommodates large numbers of certain species. A final chapter on population and conservation provides a useful summary of the present status of the Australian herons, some of whom are thriving and others who are in a very precarious position.
