Hi All. I've been reading a lot of natural history adventure books of late, mostly birds, but also butterfly, and orchid stories. I have loads of the old Hawaiian Shell News and Of Sea and Shore which have many wonderful stories of the type I'm interested in only they tend to be rather short articles. I'm looking for something a little more substantial. I like older books as well (provided I can find them)so I was wondering what people here might recommend as a 'good read'-an adventure that is well written, possibly captivating. Many thanks.
