Summary: "Birds in London" by W. H. Hudson is a nature book written in the late 19th century. This work provides a detailed account of the wild bird life in London, reflecting on both the contemporary scene and historical changes in the local bird population. Hudson's exploration is particularly focused on how urbanization has affected various species, their habitats, and their coexistence with the residents of the metropolis. At the start of the book, Hudson outlines his original intention to create a handbook for bird watchers but soon realizes that defining London's bird life is complex due to constant urban growth and changes. He discusses the prevalence of sparrows in the city, their interactions with humans, and the various species that have adapted to urban life or have disappeared. The opening also emphasizes the importance of bird life as a restorative component of nature within the bustling environment of London, highlighting the emotional connections that city dwellers develop with these wild creatures amidst their concrete surroundings.
