f you are passionate about the breeding cycle of birds, this DVD-ROM will take you on an amazing journey exploring the rich and diverse breeding biology of the avifauna of Europe, North Africa and the Middle East. The vast collection of photographs presented on this DVD-ROM is the result of the most extensive effort ever undertaken to document the breeding cycle of birds.

• typical habitats
