'T**HE Publishers have been encouraged 

 by the gratifying success of '* Wild 

 Birds at Home" to issue this second series. 

 They believe that it will appeal as strongly 

 to nature lovers as did the first. The 

 leading features of the present volume 

 are, firstly, a number of itnprecedentedly 

 fine photographs of the merlin and young, 

 and, secondly, some unique photographs of 

 birds in fiight. The more the reader 

 knows of nature photography, the more he 

 will appreciate the immense difficulty of 

 getting such magnificent photographs of 

 flying bitds as Mr. Kirk has been 

 successful in obtaining.
