Top 50 garden birds NEW EDITION
Gardens are wonderful places for birdwatching. But how do you put a name to the birds that you see? Traditional identification guides, although fine for expert users, can be difficult to use if you don't know where to start.
There is an alternative. This new edition of one of the FSC's most popular charts will enable you to make a rapid identification of the birds that you are most likely to see in parks and gardens. Simply unfold the laminated shower-proof chart to see all 70 images at a glance.
Then focus on just two straightforward features: the main colour of the bird and its approximate size. Now you can narrow down the options to no more than half a dozen birds. Concise text descriptions on the reverse side give further clues to a successful identification. Illustrations of similar looking species are arranged together, enabling you to quickly distinguish between a song thrush and a mistle thrush, a woodpigeon and a stock dove, a rook from a carrion crow, and many other species, before they fly away!
