The RSPB Handbook of Scottish Birds is the ideal reference for keen birdwatchers and visitors to Scotland alike. The 252 most common Scottish birds are covered in detail, with one page per species, followed by shorter accounts of 28 rarer species that are sometimes seen in Scotland. The concise text offers a 'biography' of each species in simple, non-technical language, including key information on identification, behaviour and conservation. Newly commissioned maps, show up-to-date distribution when breeding, wintering or on migration, and superb colour illustrations from some of the world's leading artists have been integrated into the text for easy reference.
