Lavishly illustrated throughout with crystal-clear photography, this guide profiles the 330 most commonly seen species in Great Britain and Europe. Each species is discussed in a full-page entry—including finches, cuckoos, storks, pelicans, shrikes, and flamingoes—with information on their characteristics and behavior, as well as the varied habitats in which they may be spotted. The photos show adult birds in typical plumage, with male, female, juvenile, and summer or winter variations to help you identify birds quickly and easily, while color-coded maps highlight resident and migratory distributions.
