The Seabird's Cry
The Lives and Loves of the Planet's Great Ocean Voyagers
Adam Nicolson
Delve into the awe-inspiring world of seabirds as they battle for survival in the harshest environment on Earth. In The Seabird's Cry, Adam Nicolson combines traditional knowledge with cutting-edge science to explore the remarkable bodies and navigational skills of these creatures. But as we uncover the beauty of life on the wing, a global tragedy unfolds: seabird populations have plummeted by nearly 70% in the last sixty years. Don't miss this poignant paean to one of nature's greatest wonders, and a warning about the dangers of extinction in our rapidly changing world.
