At 530 pages, not counting appendices, Moss Taylor’s The Birds of
Norfolk is a book in the grand Norfolk tradition established by Bernard
Riviere in 1930. It’s not a book for the faint-hearted, but the keen
ornithologist and avid reader will love it. The book was selling at a £10
discount at the Norfolk Wildlife Trust Centre at Cley the other weekend. (Local
booksellers were not amused.) Published by Pica Press, £35, ISBN
1843403860.
