Jim Flegg's Field Guide to the Birds of Britain and Europe
Field guide and photographs of birds in Britain and Europe.
Photographic Field Guide Birds of Britai
The authors present an easy-to-use guide to almost all of the common species of British and European birds that are likely to be encountered in a lifetime of bird-watching. The book is colour-illustrated and includes colour-coded distribution maps.
Birds of the British Isles
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 patterns of birds in general, to the detailed studies of over 120 specific species, the book never ceases to fascinate and inform. Written by some of the best known ornithological experts under the general editorship of Dr Jim Flegg, an acknowledged authority on the subject, the text has been stunningly reinforced by the addition of over 350 colour photographs and drawings. BIRDS OF THE BRITISH ISLES is a product of thorough research and enthusiasm and will prove a valuable addition to any bird lover's library.
Watching Birds
This revised edition of the late James Fisher's much praised Watching Birds is the work of Dr Jim Flegg, Director of the British Trust for Ornithology. In his Preface Dr Flegg writes: 'It is a daunting task to revise the bird book on which you cut your teeth: it is the surest measure of the man who wrote it that what is needed, after thirty-odd years, is an updating and not a sweeping revision.' Among James Fisher's deservedly popular writings Watching Birds was probably the most read and consulted. After several reprints (published by Penguin Books) he planned to re-write it, and it is wholly appropriate that the work should now be done by Dr Flegg who, like the original author, has done mu...

Green Guide to Birds Of Britain And Europe
Bloomsbury Green Guides are portable handbooks to the most commonly found species in Britain and Europe. With their diversity of form, colour, behaviour and song, birds are an endless source of fascination, but telling apart the different thrushes, finches, wagtails, warblers, tits and terns often stumps novices. The Green Guide to Birds makes identifying them easy for beginners and amateur naturalists alike. · Beautiful colour illustrations of the 150 species most common in Britain and Europe · Detailed description of plumage, behaviour, calls, songs and habitat to aid identification · Includes a comprehensive introduction with information on practical birdwatching and conservation, as well as a photo gallery new to this edition
Birds (Collins Gem)
The ideal portable companion, the world-renowned Collins Gem series returns with a fresh new look and updated material.
Watching Birds
Among James Fisher's deservedly popular writings Watching Birds was probably the most read and consulted. After several reprints (published by Penguin Books) he planned to re-write it, and it is wholly appropriate that the work should now be done by Dr Flegg who, like the original author, has done much to help arouse and stimulate a widening interest in watching and understanding the life and world of birds. It is an indication of that interest today that radio and TV programmes (in which Dr Flegg has frequently participated) have audiences of millions. Such numbers are hardly surprising since few leisure activities offer as effective or as gratifying an antidote to the pressures of modern life as birdwatching - and few can be as readily and inexpensively pursued at almost any time, anywhere.
Birds of Australia
This is a bird-identification guide with a difference. Instead of using colour plates of paintings to identify the species, it features photographs, covering all 840 bird species that live or visit the Australian continent. Following a brief introduction about bird biology, habitats and bird families, the main part of the book comprises species entries. Each species is depicted in a photograph, or two where male and female vary or breeding plumage is different. A map shows each species' distribution in and around Australia, and the text gives details of size, colour, shape, behaviour, calls and habitat. The at-a-glance symbols at the end of each entry indicate major habitat types.
