Peter Shirley. Peter Shirley, of the Birmingham Urban Wildlife Trust, explains how the special conditions of towns can be useful for such animals as bats, newts, hedgehogs, squirrels, water voles, gulls, geese, starlings, butterflies, wasps and all other creatures that somehow co-exist with man, whether they remained in their homes while man built around them or whether they moved in after man had created the right conditions for them. Topics also include: badgers, amphibians, foxes, thrushes, geese, and pigeons. 128 pgs, Softcover
