Birds of Coast and Sea: Britain and Northern Europe

Very good hardcover in mylar-protected dust jacket. Light foxing to outer edges. Previous owner's name on fep.

An absorbing companion for those holidaying by the sea in Northern Europe anywhere from Britain to the Russian borders, this compact volume describes and illustrates well over eighty of the bird species most likely to be seen along that vast and varied coastline. The sixty-four full colour plates are faced by a fully comprehensive text covering not only a careful description of the birds throughout their life cycle, but also their population, distribution, breeding habits, nests and eggs, food requirements, calls, and other identifying features. Where extra visual information is required a black-and-white drawing has been added to the text page.
