Up to date, factual and above all, highly readable, Birds of the British Isles is much more than a superbly illustrated field guide.  

From the initial introductory material on the identification, habitat, lifestyle and breeding patters of birds in general, to the detailed studies of over 120 specific species, this book never fails to fascinate and inform.

Written by some of the best-known ornithological writers under the general editorship of Dr Jim Flegg, an acknowledged authority on the subject, the text has been stunningly refinforced by the addition of over 600 colour photographs and illustrations.
