About This Book

A compact natural-history guide surveys the terrestrial mammals, reptiles, and amphibians of wayside and woodland habitats in Britain, omitting sea species and birds. Concise species accounts combine identification features, colour and size notes, behaviour, nesting and breeding habits, seasonal movements, and local distribution, alongside observations on diet and interactions with people. The text is accompanied by numerous photographic plates, many reproduced in natural colour, and is aimed at field readers and nature-lovers seeking practical, accessible information for recognising and understanding common countryside animals.
