Description
An up-to-date guide exploring the rich variety of avifauna in the Mediterranean.
From dramatic cliffs and sparkling coastlines to wooded mountains and open scrub, the Mediterranean boasts a diverse range of habitats that are rich with birdlife. Whether searching for birds of prey like Lammergeier and Elenora's Falcon, or iconic passerines such as Masked Shrike and Sardinian Warbler, the Mediterranean is a dream destination for birdwatchers.
Now in its second edition, this exquisite photographic guide provides full coverage of every species occurring in the region. Fully updated throughout, concise species accounts cover identification, similar species, voice, habitats and behaviour, status and distribution, along with revised maps and new photographs throughout.
Illustrated with more than 1,000 photographs, Birds of the Mediterranean is an essential companion for any birder or naturalist visiting this popular region.
