Waders are a very popular group among birders of all standards, though their identification is often a challenge. Covering all the species of the northern hemisphere, this new photographic guide provides all the information a birder will need at a glance. Superbly illustrated with colour photography by the author, "Waders of the Northern Hemisphere" focuses on specific and subspecific separation and on ageing to provide a complete identification resource.

All the shorebird species that breed in the northern hemisphere or that occur there as non-breeding birds, including vagrants, are included in this book. For the purposes of this book, the northern hemisphere encompasses the Cape Verde archipelago and most of the Caribbean islands. In all, 135 species are included.

In addition to the species accounts, there are chapters on plumages and moults, and on behaviour.
