Every birdwatcher's essential reference - a compact guide to 500 species of bird found in Britain. The guide includes Europe's resident birds and regular migrants and key vagrants from North America and Asia. Background information on bird structure and topography, fieldcraft, habitats, bird orders and families is provided and each species entry includes at least one full-colour illustration and a full, yet concise, species description plus other details e.g. habitat, voice, length, wingspan and behavioural characteristics. A glossary of technical terms is included and there is an index of English and Latin names.
