    Excerpt · English

    Thirty years after a US ornithologist first sighted a jocotoco antpitta, the foundation he set up to restore biodiversity is a model for conservation globally I have to confess that I rarely enjoy birding in montane cloud forests. The birds that live in these mountainous, cool and humid habitats are masters of disguise, usually passing themselves off as a leaf or other form of foliage. But if I want to see antpittas – elusive, ground-dwelling birds that rarely show themselves – then I have no ch

    I have to confess that I rarely enjoy birding in montane cloud forests. The birds that live in these mountainous, cool and humid habitats are masters of disguise, usually passing themselves off as a leaf or other form of foliage.

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The conservationist Harry Green was a naturalist of the amateur school, with an encyclopedic knowledge of British wildlife based on a lifetime in the field. Though born and brought up in Oxfordshire, he spent the whole of his adult life in his adopted county of Worcestershire.
