This guide covers the very best birding sites in Britain. In a format

familiar to readers of this popular series, each site is considered in

terms of 'Habitat', Access' and 'Birds', allowing birders

of all levels to plan successful birding trips anywhere in Britain, and to maximise the chances of getting the best out of

each site and each region. The book includes detailed maps of the

larger sites, plus general maps of the regions covered, and it is

illustrated with attractive line drawings. This book has been

extensively revised, with several new sites added for this edition,

together with information on disabled access for most sites.
