Bill Oddie's Birding Pack offers exceptional value for money by
combining book and map in a compact plastic wallet. The pack comprises
Bill Oddie's Birds of Britain and Ireland and a unique added value map,
Bill Oddie's Birding Map folded to fit the wallet.
Essentially a
beginner's field guide to both British and Irish birds, Bill Oddie's
Birds of Britain and Ireland is a must-have book for any birder coming
to grips with the 200 or so commoner species to be found in Britain and
Ireland. Written in Bill's inimitable style, this book enables even the
most inexperienced birdwatcher to clearly identify a wide variety of
species.
Three leading artists have provided clear, realistic and
accurate illustrations, which show the birds as they are actually seen
in the field. A unique feature of the book are the ten 'confusion'
pages which compare and contrast the species which novice birders often
find the most confusing.
The easy-to-use, illustrated map is an
essential guide to watching birds in Britain and Ireland. Featuring the
top 346 birding sites including all RSPB reserves and additional
Wildlife Trusts and Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust sites, this new edition
comprises 100 extra sites. On the reverse of the main map there are
detailed maps of 15 major sites and information panels on many aspects
of birding including a detailed list of bird observatories and the
major seabird colonies to be found in Britain and Ireland.
This ideal
companion to Bill Oddie's Birds of Britain and Ireland provides a handy
reference tool for both the novice birdwatcher as well as the avid
twitcher.
