The Birdlife of Britain hardback book. Peter Hayman and Philip Burton for RSPB. Orange cover featuring eight Kingfisher.

My Mum kept my childhood bird book safe for me. Such a joy to look through it again with a reignited passion.

Managed to see the Lesser yellowlegs on the riverbank behind Tesco, and opposite the flats, in Truro. I was pointed in the right direction, and I pointed others that way as I left.
Do try and see it if you can, such a lovely bird.

Does anyone know if the Truro Yellowlegs is still around today please? #CornwallBirding

The species are labelled with their English and Latin names, Phalacrocorax carbo and Phalacrocorax aristotelis, respectively. Each image is labelled with key identifying features.
