The ultimate reference book for bird enthusiasts - now in its third
edition. With expanded text and additional colour illustrations,
the third edition of the hugely successful Collins Bird Guide is a
must for every birdwatcher. The new edition has an extra 32 pages
allowing several groups more space and completely or partly new
plates with more detailed text: grouse, loons, several groups of
raptors, terns, owls, swifts, woodpeckers, swallows, redstarts and
some other relatives to the flycatchers (formerly often called
'small thrushes'), tits and a few finches and buntings are some of
these. More than 50 plates are either new or have been repainted,
completely or partly. Apart from this, a few new vignettes have
been added. The section with vagrants has been expanded to
accommodate more images and longer texts for several species. The
entire text and all maps have of course also been revised. The book
provides all the information needed to identify any species at any
time of the year, covering size, habitat, range, identification and
voice. Accompanying every species entry is a distribution map and
illustrations showing the species in all the major plumages (male,
female, immature, in flight, at rest, feeding: whatever is
important). In addition, each group of birds includes an
introduction which covers the major problems involved in
identifying or observing them: how to organise a sea watching trip,
how to separate birds of prey in flight, which duck hybrids can be
confused with which main species. These and many other common
birdwatching questions are answered. The combination of definitive
text, up-to-date distribution maps and superb illustrations, all in
a single volume, makes this book the ultimate field guide,
essential on every bookshelf and birdwatching trip.
