This bird-finding guide is a reference to the best birding sites of Scotland. Each site is described in terms of the nature of the habitat, the species likely to be observed, the recommended timings for visits to get the best from the site, and a calendar showing which species are found in the various seasons. The site accounts also mention other interesting wildlife that may be encountered - for example, Scotland is home to some of Britain's most enigmatic mammal species.

Described by some as the best field guide in the world, and 15 years in the making. Has it been Worth the Wait?...Yes definately! If you buy just 1 book a year then make sure that its this one. Stunning drawings by the worlds finest bird illustrators..and it shows..check out the plates on tern, Skuas, and the Ducks...not forgetting the Finches and Crossbills. |

The standard of new field guides for the United Kingdom just keeps on improving. This book is as good as any I have seen. The real strength of this guide over its rivals is the wealth of information provided. I was particularly impressed with the comments on population and conservation status, which are flagged up for each species. It makes you understand how rare a bird is, when you realise that its population is down to the last 100 pairs! The illustrations are super, distribution maps are accurate and the price is excellent...buy it.
