Everything you ever wanted to know about storks, ibises and spoonbills.
Some of the world”s largest and most spectacular birds are to be found among this group of wading birds. Tragically, they also include many of the world”s most endangered species, as changes in land use erode their wetland habitats.
Some like the White Stork have lived alongside humans for hundreds of years and are well known from numerous studies. Others, like the Storm”s stork and ibises of West Africa, South-East Asia and South America live so secluded a life in the remote corners of the globe that they will probably be extinct before even the most basic details of their biology are known.
In this monograph, three authors and two artists have combined their skills to capture what is known of this group of wading birds. The text opens with general chapters on taxonomy and feeding, breeding and behaviour, followed by detailed coverage of each species.
