The third in the excellent Christopher Helm series which includes Seabirds and Shorebirds. It brings together, for the first time in one volume, a concise review of all the wildfowl species of the world, illustrating all major plumages and subspecies in colour. The 47 superb colour plates by Hilary Burn form the backbone of the book, each page summarising the criteria required to identify, and in many cases, to age and sex each species along with colour world distribution maps and an easy-to-use cross-reference system to the main body of text. The authoritative text by Steve Madge treats each species in depth, giving identification, ageing and sexing features, as well as aspects of behaviour, migration, distribution, population and conservation.

The first-ever comprehensive guide to all of the waders. The text is the result of eight years' research by John Marchant and Tony Prater. Their species descriptions are extraordinarily thorough, and reflect the advances in field identification which have taken place in recent years. This is a reprint edition, with corrections to text and captions. The 88 colour plates are by Peter Hayman; they are quite simply the best wader plates ever painted. A companion work to Seabirds.

Fiyatı: £35 2CD £24.99
Owls are a fascinating group of birds because of their adaptation to nocturnal life. We know very little about most species and it is very difficult to identify some taxa correctly. For this reason, voice is critical in identification and heavy emphasis on voice identification is made in this guide.
An accompanying Double-CD with voices of many species will be published simultaneously. Ecology and reproductive behaviour are also given extensive coverage.

This volume covers some of the most colourful and beautiful birds in the world, and is a complete review of all 123 known species, written and illustrated by leading authorities on these families. The illustrations show every species, all main subspecies and most sex and age variations. Distribution is shown on three-colour maps, and the text describes identification, field characters, behaviour, ecology and natural history. As with the other volumes in the series, this is set to become the standard reference work on these species.

First review of the family for nearly a hundred years. The fine plates are by Chris Rose, which depict each of the species in exquisite detail. Each plate is accompanied by a brief caption text plus a two-colour distribution and breeding map. The second main section comprises chapters on the family's characteristics, classification, distribution, ecology, behaviour, breeding biology and population status, as well as a short account of each species. Each of these accounts describes the field characteristics, habitat, voice, distribution, movements, behaviour, plumage, races and measurements of the species.
