The most comprehensive single-volume photographic guide to Europe's
birds ever produced--from the authors of the acclaimed Britain's
Birds
Covering more than 900 species, and illustrated with 4,700 photographs,
Europe's Birds is the most comprehensive, authoritative and ambitious
single-volume photographic guide to Europe's birds ever produced.
Easy-to-use, practical and accessible, this guide provides the
information necessary for birdwatchers of all abilities to name any bird
they see. Detailed descriptions cover the birds in all their
plumages--male, female, breeding, non-breeding, adult and immatures, as
well as distinctive subspecies. The clear text covers all aspects of
identification, including moult and vocalizations, and provides details
on range, status and habitat. An unrivalled selection of photographs,
chosen to be as informative as possible, makes this a beautiful book to
enjoy, as well as an up-to-date and essential source of identification
knowledge.
Europe's Birds is produced by the same team that created Britain's
Birds, which has been described as "without doubt the best photo guide
on the market" (Andy Stoddart, Rare Bird Alert). The authors include
top-class wildlife photographers, writers and editors, and an
imaginative, highly skilled designer. All are experienced birdwatchers
themselves, who know what is needed in an identification guide for
birdwatchers living or travelling in Europe.
