The vibrant and exciting world of penguins is shown in all its glory in this new collection of photographs from renowned wildlife photographer David Tipling.
Tipling has trekked to remote and beautiful locations to capture birds in their natural habitat going about their daily lives. Moments rarely caught by humans have been preserved on film and reproduced here in glorious full-colour images.
Penguins: Close Encounters showcases 140 amazing photographs of birds in the wild, and a short description accompanies each image. The ebook has coverage of all the world's 17 penguin species, including a comprehensive 'penguins fact file' section, and all aspects of their lives and behaviour.
