The Good Bird Guide

This book is a birdfinding guide to Britain and Europe's most coveted species. Unlike the Where to Watch Birds guides,which direct birders to good general birding sites, this guide takeseach individual species as a starting point, and picks out the bestplaces to see that species. In this way, a birder can efficientlytarget those particular species that he wishes to see, making thisguide especially useful to those who travel frequently but may belimited in terms of available time to explore. Each of the speciesaccounts has information on distribution, habitat and movements, somehints and tips of finding and getting close to the species, and a listof sites in all appropriate countries where that species can reliablybe found. The species accounts are followed by a comprehensive,country-by-country gazetteer of the sites covered, with sitedescriptions and location maps.
