This innovative new title from Bradt is the first of its type to
focus specifically on the vast array of wildlife-watching
opportunities found in Europe. Written by expert James Lowen,
author of the best-selling 52 Wildlife Weekends: A Year of British
Wildlife-Watching Breaks and award-winning A Summer of British
Wildlife: 100 Great Days Out Watching Wildlife, this unique guide
is packaged into 52 weekend-sized breaks highlighting the best of
European wildlife including mammals, reptiles, amphibians, flora,
butterflies, dragonflies and birds. We may think of snow-covered
Antarctica, South American jungles or African savannahs as holding
the world's most plenteous and special wildlife, yet Europe heaves
with wildlife wonders year-round, many of which can be seen in a
simple weekend break. This book suggests one wildlife-watching
break, somewhere in Europe, for every weekend of the year. Want to
see brown bears? Make for Finland or Slovenia. Fancy a crack at
wolves? Hop on a flight to northern Spain or Italy's Abruzzo. If
whales float your boat, a long weekend in Iceland, Ireland or the
Bay of Biscay would suit. Orchid lovers can head to Corsica, Crete
or the Costa del Sol in spring. Birdwatchers can flock to see
migrating raptors in Gibraltar, great gatherings of cranes in
central Spain, or vast flocks of seaduck in Arctic Norway. Then
there's the wacky olm in Slovenia, cave salamanders in Sardinia and
owl-flies in the Picos de Europa. Hungary's mayfly emergence is
truly spectacular, as are Norway's musk oxen and Poland's bison.
Stretching from the Arctic to its boundaries with Africa and Asia,
Europe has enough exciting living creatures amid jaw-dropping
landscapes to fill an entire lifetime of wildlife-watching. Ideal
for both the experienced wildlife tourist and the novice and packed
with stunning colour photos, Bradt's 52 European Wildlife Weekends
shows when, where and how to see the most exciting wildlife,
complete with inspiring itineraries, engaging descriptions,
detailed directions and tips on how to find, identify and enjoy
animals and plants. Each entry gives details on species of interest
and the landscapes they inhabit, plus suggestions for extending
your quick break into a longer visit. Winner of the British Guild
of Travel Writers Adele Evans Award for Best Guidebook 2018.
