Compiled by a panel of expert ornithologists and packed with advice, illustrations and practical information, this valuable reference book is broken down into four key sections, covering: origins, anatomy, behaviour, migration and habitat; birdwatching at home; birdwatching in the field, with advice on equipment, basic identification, recognising songs and calls, photography, and the best birdwatching sites; and lastly, a section looking at the various species of birds that are found in different habitats.
