Illustrated by Joe Blossom
Anyone taking young children to see the wild birds or the marvellous collections of tame waterfowl at any of the seven Wildfowl Trust's centres would be glad of Ducks and Drakes. Althea has sensibly given most space to mallards - the ones most familiar to children who have 'fed the ducks' on park lakes or village ponds. There's also lots of general information about ducks and some carefully selected detail about ten other species. Good clear pictures help with identification.
