Ultimate Site Guide to Scarcer British Birds

Lee Evans

Revised edition (2009). In 1996 this book became an instant classic - for the first time in one publication, birders discovered how and where to see over 100 rarer and difficult-to-find species. These are the birds that make birding such an exciting and rewarding activity: there's nothing like the thrill of tracking and observing elusive species such as Hawfinch, Spotted Crake and Great Grey Shrike.

This is a fully revised, updated and extended edition of the classic 1996 edition. The need to protect vulnerable breeders has also been taken into account. The species accounts have been further enhanced with more than 60 new vignettes from illustrator Ray Scally.

For each of the 142 species covered this book tells you all you need to know, including:

• where to look (up to six pages per species detailing up to 50 sites, often including maps and grid references)
• when to look
• how to get there - and exactly where to look within the site
• how good your chances are of seeing the bird at each location

326 pages.
