RSPB ID Spotlight - Identify ducks, geese and swans

Product description

With 30 illustrations of ducks, geese and swans, this easy-to-use, fold-out chart will ensure you never struggle to identify wildfowl when out exploring.

Can you tell a goosander from a red-breasted merganser? Or confidently distinguish between a pink-footed goose and a greylag goose? This helpful guide will help you identify a wealth of different ducks, geese and swans.

Species are grouped by family and helpfully labelled to assist with identification. Artworks are shown side-by-side for quick comparison and easy reference whether you're at home or in the field.

The reverse of the chart provides information on the habitats, behaviour, life cycles and diets of our ducks, geese and swans, as well as the conservation issues they are facing and how the RSPB is working to support them.

Information on successful preservation campaigns of UK wetlands and how to take part in the Wetland Birds Survey is also included.
