Bloomsbury Green Guides are portable handbooks to the most commonly found species in Britain and Europe. With their diversity of form, colour, behaviour and song, birds are an endless source of fascination, but telling apart the different thrushes, finches, wagtails, warblers, tits and terns often stumps novices. The Green Guide to Birds makes identifying them easy for beginners and amateur naturalists alike. * Beautiful colour illustrations of the 150 species most common in Britain and Europe * Detailed description of plumage, behaviour, calls, songs and habitat to aid identification * Includes a comprehensive introduction with information on practical birdwatching and conservation, as well as a photo gallery new to this edition
