David Lack

yes, but the library user looking up either the European or American robin is probably going to use the term "robin" - and most people don't even realize there's more than one kind.

I suspect most libraries would be hard pressed to have even one whole book on the robin, so they wouldn't need a longer heading.

Hi perodicticus! If you enjoyed David Lack's The Life of the Robin, then try Swifts in a Tower. Both wonderful. Like many great natural history writers, he retained the fresh outlook and open approach of an amateur.

You may be interested to know that the BBC Saving Species programme on 2 Sep http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00tj829 features an interview with Elizabeth Lack where she speaks about their research for Swifts in a Tower.
