Well written and interesting content but my biggest criticism would be the missed opportunity to add small diagrams. There are sections of the book which are made so much more difficult to understand if you are not already an avid ornithologist with a good understanding of bird anatomy and behaviour. Many descriptions are highly visual with something along the lines of ‘weaved left to right, tucked behind, swivelled in on itself and the knot fastened to the mid section to create the nest’. I had to read these sections multiple times or google pictures throughout the book to get a clear understanding of what I was meant to be envisioning. This disrupted the flow and would have been much more enjoyable with a few small diagrams to visually explain what was less efficiently communicated with language.
