Product description
Find out all there is to know about 310 of the most common birds in the UK with this lightweight pocket guide to British birds.
The guide features illustrations of species in all distinct plumage forms likely to be seen in the wild, by renowned bird artist Stephen Message. A detailed distribution map for the British Isles is also included in the guide.
Ideal for seasoned birders and newcomers to birdwatching, the guide covers behaviour and voice - focusing on key identification points - and also outlines where you can find the species, its seasonal movements and the latest UK population data. Confusion species are also cross-referenced, with their most important and easily noted differences from the subject species described.
There is comprehensive advice on how and where to find birds, and how to make the most useful and rewarding observations.
This guide also provides images and descriptions for not only a selection of rarer visitors, but also for a range of domestic species and certain commonly observed aberrant forms of more familiar birds, all of which are omitted from most field guides but can cause great confusion for beginners when encountered in the wild.
The RSPB Pocket guide to British birds is a must-read for anyone interested in the world of birdwatching.
