Mrs Moreau's Warbler: How Birds Got Their Names Hardcover -
by Stephen Moss
From the rear cover
Cuckoo, chiffchaff and kittiwake: just three of many names based on the bird's sound. Wheatear: nothing to do with ears of wheat, but the Anglo-Saxon for "White-arse". Hobby: whoe scientific name, Falco subbuteo, inspired the table-top football game. Dartford warbler: originally found near Dartford, yet never sighted there again. Cuddy's duck: local name for the eider, whose feathers were made into eiderdowns. Bananaquit, festive coquette and screaming piha: the world's most unusual bird names? Mrs Moreau's warbler: the touching love story behind the name of one of the world's rarest birds.
