Don Merton
Sought after book, this one is signed by Don Merton. Famed for his work bringing back one of our robins from the brink of extinction (there's also a charming childrens book about the robin "Old Blue" you may be interested in), he developed some innovative techniques for fostering eggs. He also did work with kakapo, and overseas in Australia and the Seychelles
