A field guide to all the passerines or songbirds found from Britain, eastwards to Japan, and as far south as the Sahara and Himalayas. Perfect for the travelling birdwatcher! This is the essential companion for the keen birdwatcher. Together with the volume on non-passerines, to be published in 2007, this book covers all the perching birds of the Palearctic, a zoographical area running from the British Isles eastwards to Japan, with its southern border marked by the Sahara, the Middle Eastern deserts, and the Himalayas. It covers the whole of the Russian Arctic, China, Tibet, Japan and the whole of Europe - the most popular bird watching area in the world. Every passerine species found in this wide area is illustrated in every plumage in which they can be seen in the wild. Author and illustrator Norman Arlott is one of the world's leading bird artists and has seen nearly all of the 1,800 species featured. The accompanying text concentrates on the specific characteristics and appearance of each species that allow identification in the field, including voice. Every species will also have a distribution map - in many cases the first time this has been compiled for the area.

Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. Immediate dispatch from Somerset. Nice book in great condition. Pages in excellent condition. Hardcover. English. See images for condition. About the book >.>.> When originally encouraged to take on this project I knew that I wanted it to do two things: to be a reminder of birds already seen and to be a helpful nudge towards what to look for when searching for new birds. I did not want to produce just a coloured checklist or the ultimate field guide - size alone meant that the latter, with the restriction on the amount of text and number of plates, was not possible anyway. I decided that most of the text in this book would be based on the type of notes I make before embarking on a field trip to a new area; hopefully they will, along with the illustrations, help to identify most birds that will be encountered. Obviously, the use of more in-depth tomes will be required for some of the trickier species (see Further Reading). I also decided, owing to the great number of species involved, to split the book into two volumes: non-passerines and passerines. Rightly or wrongly, and for many reasons that do not need explanation here, I decided to produce the passerine volume first. N° de réf. du vendeur Batch-FM619-VG-12949
