About this product

Product Information

Following on from its hugely successful launch in 1999, Collins Bird Guide - the ultimate reference book for bird enthusiasts - is now available in a lavish large format edition. With expanded text and even larger colour illustrations, this guide covers every species and every plumage you will see, with detailed information on identification, habitat and voice. A must for every birdwatcher. The book provides all the information needed to identify any species at any time of the year, covering size, habitat, range, identification and voice. Accompanying every species entry is a distribution map and illustrations showing the species in all the major plumages (male, female, immature, in flight, at rest, feeding: whatever is important). In addition, each group of birds includes an introduction which covers the major problems involved in identifying or observing them: how to organise a sea watching trip, how to separate birds of prey in flight, which duck hybrids can be confused with which main species. These and many other common birdwatching questions are answered. The combination of definitive text, up-to-date distribution maps and superb illustrations, all in a single volume, makes this book the ultimate field guide. It will become essential on every bookshelf and birdwatching trip.

  • Collins Bird guide

    I expected a pocket size guide but was delighted to receive this coffee table version. I must have misread the details. The illustrations are superb and the guide is very easy to use and though it is 21 years out of date you can use google to find updated versions of the maps. Fantastic book!

  • Great for the coffee table

    This is the larger version of the Collins guide and the illustrations come alive. Keep it on the coffee table and dip into its regular intervals.
