DVD Guide to Birdwatching in Europe
by Keith Betton in the United Kingdom (24/01/2012)

In common with Paul Doherty's previous DVDs this is a highly professional production focusing on ten birding locations and featuring 255 species – many of them appearing more than once.

Starting with a trip to the bitterly cold Netherlands in February the main interest is geese at Lauwersmeer National Park with extra material from other sites. This a good chapter to focus on as we get to see the birds up close in detail which is supported by an informative commentary explaining the plumage features of the main goose species. Raptors are also studied, and again we learn how to separate species and also where they have probably come from, and how long they may stay. Several locations are named but you couldn't just

So moving on through the year the DVD continues by actually leaving Europe and taking us to Eilat on the Red Sea coast for raptor and wader migration in March. We then visit Extramadura in Spain for the early breeding season followed by the Pyrenees straight after for higher altitude birding. The Greek island of Lesvos is featured in great detail with several sub-sites getting their own treatment. May's destination is eastern Poland with the Bialowieza Forest and Biebrza Marshes. Central Finland provides an absolute owl-fest in June, while a visit to Varanger Fjord in northern Norway is a must for summering sea ducks and nesting auks. July to September are not featured, but October is busy, starting with a trip to Falsterbo. Here in southern Sweden the autumn migration is in full swing and the enormous numbers of migrating passerines is amazing – and here I think the power of DVD footage really shows itself as finches, tits and pipits swarm past almost colliding with the camera on occasions. Finally the remainder of October is spent back in Israel, with migration in the Beit She'an valley.

The ten chapters can be viewed separately if preferred, and a very useful feature is the facility to select a species from the menu and go straight to the appropriate footage of it. The commentary is helpful, but if you just want to enjoy the wild sounds uninterrupted then there is a facility to select just that sound track.

There is a simple map at the start of each chapter but by comparison with some more specific products on the market local site information included is at a minimum. However if you are looking for European holiday ideas then this is a great DVD to provide inspiration even though it selects just a few sites from eight countries. There are 50 countries in Europe so the scope for more DVDs is considerable and I look forward to seeing them.
