RSPB Birds of Britain and Europe The Definitive Photographic Field Guide

Tick more than 300 birds off your list with this clear, easy-to-use photographic field e-guide. This compact field e-guide features the highest quality photographs, capturing the beauty of more than 500 bird species and making bird identification effortless. Each bird's entry includes clear images at rest and in flight and pictures the male, female, and juvenile of the species along with a distribution map so you know what species to expect and when. Some birds also have flight-pattern diagrams and images of subspecies to help identify them. Birds that can be hard to tell apart are compared in similar species panels, with their differences picked out. The introduction covers the anatomy, life cycle, and behaviour of birds and includes a survey of the habitats in which birds live, making it an essential reference for anyone interested in birdwatching. Descriptions and photos of rarities and vagrants - accidental visitors to Britain and Europe - are also included. An accompanying audio app of the birdsong and calls of over 200 key birds help identify a bird even when it is hard to spot.
