Description
An authoritative pocket guide to the birds of Spain
From rollers to bee-eaters, bustards and coursers to larks, nightjars, buntings and wallcreepers, Spain is recognised as one of Europe's top destinations for birdwatching. This new photographic guide for general wildlife-watchers by naturalist James Lowen and Spanish photographer Carlos Bocos Gonzales covers the 300 birds most likely to be seen on any visit to the country, with detailed text and superb photography, selected to highlight key identification criteria.
Pocket-sized and portable, Birds of Spain is the perfect companion for any wildlife-watching tourist or traveller keen to recognise the birds that they see.

It packs an awful lot into a small space, with remarkably detailed (and very good) species accounts alongside clear, crisp photography that always succeeds in getting over the most vital ID information. A really useful book to have around when you don't want to lug a full field guide along with you, and a pleasure to browse as well.
