Description
This Guide Birds of Britain and Europe combines an identification guide to the birds “which breed in Europe, plus those which visit as non-breeders in reasonable numbers,” with an introductory ornithology text. The 429 taxonomically arranged species accounts in the guide section include English and Latin names, terse descriptions, range maps, and one or more small but clear color paintings; for most species, all major plumage variations are depicted.
The text sections simply and clearly describe the anatomy, physiology, classification, behavior, ecology, and conservation of birds. At least six other English-language field guides to European birds are currently available; the extensive treatment of avian biology is this work’s special asset
