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 takes
each individual species as a starting point, and picks out the best
places to see that species. In this way, a birder can efficiently
target those particular species that he wishes to see, making this
guide especially useful to those who travel frequently but may be
limited in terms of available time to explore. Each of the species
accounts has information on distribution, habitat and movements, some
hints and tips of finding and getting close to the species, and a list
of sites in all appropriate countries where that species can reliably
be found. The species accounts are followed by a comprehensive,
country-by-country gazetteer of the sites covered, with site
descriptions and location maps.
