Around the World in 80 Birds by Mike Unwin – An Illustrated Journey of Avian Wonders
Join award-winning writer Mike Unwin on a captivating avian journey across the globe. In Around the World in 80 Birds, he celebrates some of the world’s most remarkable bird species, exploring their unique behaviours, habitats, and the deep connections between birds and people.
From Namibia’s sociable weaver, an ingenious desert builder of vast multi-nest “apartment blocks,” to the bar-headed goose of China, a daring high-altitude migrant that crosses the Himalayas twice a year, each bird has an extraordinary story to tell.
With exquisite colour illustrations by Ryuto Miyake, this book is both a visual delight and a timely reminder of how much we depend on birds — and how much they depend on us. Perfect for birdwatchers, nature lovers, and readers of natural history writing.
