"Bird" is the ultimate illustrated guide to every species that regularly breeds in or visits Europe. Each species is covered in great detail. Up to 20 illustrations are provided of each species; males, females, juveniles; season by season; at rest and in flight. A colour photograph is provided of each bird in its natural habitat or exhibiting an aspect of its behaviour; a scale diagram shows how the bird compares to another commonly known species; a distribution map shows at a glance where the bird can be seen; similar species are compared to prevent common identification mistakes; and, fascinating facts provide a wider and richer portrait of the bird. No other book manages to do all this with such depth of research or such exquisitely beautiful illustrations.

The book includes a CD with files for iPod, Mac or PC: Notes, images and songs for 250 European birds.
