Description
Book SynopsisThis guide covers the very best birding sites in Britain. In a format
familiar to readers of this popular series, each site is considered in
terms of ''Habitat'', Access'' and ''Birds'', allowing birders
of all levels to plan successful birding trips anywhere in Britain, and to maximise the chances of getting the best out of
each site and each region. The book includes detailed maps of the
larger sites, plus general maps of the regions covered, and it is
illustrated with attractive line drawings. This book has been
extensively revised, with several new sites added for this edition,
together with information on disabled access for most sites.
