A SUNDAY TIMES NATURE BOOK OF THE YEAR

Its flight and egg and feathers and song. Its the demure plumage of a mountain thornbill and the extravagant tail feathers of an Indian paradise flycatcher, the solo song of a superb lyrebird and the perfectly timed duets of canebrake wrens, an ospreys hurtling dive toward the sea, and a long-legged herons still, patient eyeing of the dark water.
