annual migration from Europe to Africa.
Starting in the prim hedges of Suffolk, England, instinct drives the dove high into the night skies for a 4,000 mile
trip to the savannahs of Mali, in West Africa. Along the way there are lonely, moonlit flights above the sea, a cozy
hideout in the bushes of Bordeaux, France, a meeting of the birds at Gibraltar, the fountains of Casablanca, winds
flowing "like a river" down canyons of the Atlas Mountains, and a Sahara sandstorm churning below. With carefully
researched prose and luminous paintings, this book is perfect for anyone who has ever wondered about the mysterious
journeys of Earth's feathered creatures.
