Whether you are watching an Eider soar low over the water or
listening to the iconic sound of a flock of geese flying overhead,
chances are you will already be familiar with many different
species of ducks, geese and swans found around the UK. But can you
tell a Goosander from a Red-breasted Merganser? Or confidently
distinguish between a Pink-footed Goose and a Greylag Goose? The
varied habitats in the British Isles provide a home to many ducks,
geese and swans that live here year-round, as well as the enormous
number of birds that arrive in winter. RSPB ID Spotlight Ducks,
Geese and Swans is a reliable fold-out chart with illustrations of
30 of the UK's most familiar wildfowl by renowned artist Stephen
Message. - Species are grouped by family and helpfully labelled to
assist with identification - Artworks are shown side-by-side for
quick comparison and easy reference 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 The ID Spotlight charts help wildlife
enthusiasts identify and learn more about our most common species
using accurate colour illustrations and informative, accessible
text.
