Birds

One in a series of guides, each arranged so that all the similar-looking species are illustrated together, with tips on how to tell them apart. Added information on behaviour or habitat reinforce the identification points to ensure the user is on the right track to full identification. In this book, an introductory section on the 20 most common birds ensures that the user has learnt the basics, before moving on to identify more complicated birds. Hence the difference between the starling and blackbird is discussed before the more difficult differentiation between male and female blackbird.
