About this product

Product Information

This is a revised and updated fourth edition of the bestselling RSPB Handbook of British Birds. This unique guide provides a 'biography' of each of the 280 commonest British bird species. It covers all aspects of field identification, using illustrations from the highly acclaimed Handbook of Bird Identification to show all common plumage forms. The text also covers behaviour, breeding biology, population, status, longevity and any other interesting facts about the species concerned. A detailed distribution map is provided for each species. The rarities section, featuring 26 additional species, has been updated and features two species new to this edition. Six comparison artwork spreads are included to help identify difficult to identify species - such as ducks, waders, warblers, raptors and gulls - alongside one another. The RSPB Handbook provides a complete, single source of basic information to our most familiar birds.

  • A book for all the Family

    A really comprehensive guide to British birds .Good descriptions and lovely coloured pictures. Perfect for all ages and very helpful for begginers of bird watching .I think children would find it easy to follow therefore encouraging them to appreciate the wondeful birds we have in the wild and our gardens too.

  • You'll know just who your garden visitors are.

    Superb book, well organised, with a lot of detail on each bird. It includes several pictures of each, and even what kind of food they prefer for those who're looking to attract a particular species to their garden. The text is a little small, but necessarily so considering the amount of information packed in against each bird. - Each page has a colour tag too, so you know if you've spotted an endangered or declining species. Heartily recommended to all birdwatchers. :)
