RSPB handbook of British birds (2nd ed)

This is a completely revised and updated edition of the best selling "RSPB Handbook of British Birds".

This unique guide provides a 'biography' of each of the 300 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 RSPB Handbook" provides a complete, single source of basic information to our most familiar birds.
