If you've ever fancied the thought of birdwatching as a hobby, or have always been interested in the birds that visit your garden, this book will prove indispensable. It covers everything you need to know to spot birds, from what you might expect to discover, to the basic equipment, the different places to go, how to record your 'spots' and even how to get birds to your garden if you're limited in getting out and about. A 'bird of the month' section will provide 12 birds that every N. European novice can find within an hour's drive, while a colour section will offer descriptions, photographs and key facts about the major species. Supported by the UK's leading conservation society, the Wildfowl and Wetland Trust, and with a full list of supporting resources, including checklists, societies, and basic conservation principles, this is an excellent introduction for would-be 'birders' of all ages.
