This guide covers the very best birding sites in Britain. In a
format familiar to readers of this popular series, each site is
considered in terms of 'Habitat', Access' and 'Birds', allowing
birders of all levels to plan successful birding trips anywhere in
Britain, and to maximise the chances of getting the best out of
each site and each region. The book includes detailed maps of the
larger sites, plus general maps of the regions covered, and it is
illustrated with attractive line drawings. This book has been
extensively revised, with several new sites added for this edition,
together with information on disabled access for most sites. Praise
for the 1st edition: "There could be no better guide than this
book" Chris Packham "Highly recommended...the best guide of its
kind" RSPB Birds "Don't leave home without it" Birding
This spectacular new field guide is the ultimate reference to the birds of Argentina and the islands of the South-west Atlantic, essential for researchers, birders and conservationists alike. Covers Argentina and all Fuegian and Hornean islands south to the Diego Ramírez Islands and east to the Falklands. More than 2,300 images of original artwork illustrate 1,075 species, including all residents, migrants and most vagrants. 199 stunning colour plates depict every species and many distinct plumages and subspecies, including 28 endemics and 17 near-endemics. Concise text on key identification features and accurate, up-to-date colour distribution maps opposite the plates for ease of reference.
The Horn of Africa has the highest endemism of any region in
Africa, and around 70 species are found nowhere else in the world.
Many of these are confined to the isolated highlands of Ethiopia
and Eritrea, but a large number of larks specialise in the arid
parts of Somalia and adjoining eastern Ethiopia, whilst the island
of Socotra has its own suite of endemic species. The region is also
an important migration route and wintering site for many Palearctic
birds. This is the first field guide to the birds of this
fascinating region, and a companion to Birds of East Africa by two
of the same authors. Over 200 magnificent plates by John Gale and
Brian Small illustrate every species that has ever occurred in the
five countries covered by the guide, and the succinct text covers
the key identification criteria. Special attention is paid to the
voices of the species, and over 1000 up-to-date colour distribution
maps are included. This long-awaited guide is a much-needed
addition to the literature on African birds and an essential
companion for birders visiting the region.
