A pocket-friendly photographic field guide to 280 birds of the British Isles.

Featuring concise identification text and expert photography, this photographic reference guide is suitable for both beginner and experienced birdwatchers alike. Species accounts include succinct descriptions of each bird's appearance, behaviour, calls and songs, and seasonal movements.
