An easy-to-use, fully illustrated guide to the birds of Ireland
This easy-to-use, full-colour guide describes and illustrates 178 of the
most commonly spotted birds in Ireland.
Specially designed for people with a general interest in birds,
the species have been carefully selected to include those that the
non-specialist birdwatcher is most likely to see. Usefully, birds are
grouped together according to where they are most likely to be seen: in
gardens, parks and buildings; farmland and hedgerows; woodland and
scrubland; moorland and uplands; and freshwater or coastal areas, with
background information given about each of these habitats.
Essential identification characteristics are given for each species,
along with clear illustrations. There are also notes on distribution,
numbers and migration for each species, and general pages for groups
like thrushes, sparrows and finches will help you to distinguish between
similar species. With definitive text, up-to-date distribution maps and
superb illustrations, this book is the ultimate field guide to Irish
birds, essential on every bookshelf and birdwatching trip.
