Synopsis

The Complete Guide to the Birdlife of Britain and Europe is a state-of-the-art introduction to European bird life. Based on the best-selling book. The Birdlife of Britain and Europe, this classic, family reference guide includes all the resident species and regular seasonal visitors to Europe - 430 species of birds in total. Geographic coverage is from Varangar Fjord through Leningrad and Kiev to Istanbul, including the Balearics, Corsica, Sardinia, Sicily and Crete. There are at least six exquisite, full-colour illustrations of each species accompanied by detailed information on plumages, habitats, breeding, feeding, migration, voice and distribution - all that is necessary for correct identification. Much of the text is in the form of annotation around the illustrations to highlight the most important identification features. Similar species are close together for easy comparison. The Complete Guide to the Birdlife of Britain and Europe also contains an invaluable section introducing the life of birds with large, illustrated features on habitats, biology, migration and lifestyles.
