A unique beginner`s guide to bird song with 3 CDs of crystal-clear digital recordings & a comprehensive guide to identifying more complex songs & calls. The new Collins Bird Songs & Calls

Includes:: re-recorded versions of the original habitat CDs
- ensuring that they are even clearer, but just as atmospheric
- introducing the user to the major bird habitats of Britain & the birds that live in them. This new edition also features a third CD containing a unique guide to identifying more complex songs & calls, with tips on what aspects of the song or call are the distinguishing characteristics. Beginning with simple, similar-sounding songs, it gradually moves through more difficult distinctions & on to a comprehensive section on passerine calls. Species that often occur in the same habitat are treated together. An accompanying full-colour guide explores the historical background to how recordings of bird songs & calls have developed & been appreciated over the years along with species accounts of the behaviour of all of our common birds. Collins Bird Songs & Calls will help you to quickly appreciate the wonderful range of bird voices & discover just what bird song is all about. A walk in the park will never be the same again.

To aid specific identification, information on bird behaviour, song, nesting, food, habitat & prevalent features is included. 230 subspecies are illustrated in the habitat where they may have been seen, showing seasonal, sexual & juvenile plumage variations. ...

In a unique new collaboration, Collins have paired up with the respected British Trust for Ornithology, bringing together the most authoritative & up-to-date information in this new field guide to the common birds of Britain & Irel&. This unique new identification guide features all of the birds that have occurred five or more times in Britain & Irel&, including all species that breed regularly in the region, plus those that winter here, or occur as common passage migrants. The book has been written & illustrated as much with the beginner in mind as the experienced birdwatcher. Designed to be used in the field, the text & photographs describe & illustrate the key features needed to identify a species with complete confidence, & to separate it from similar, or `confusion`, species. As a general rule, the species accounts follow the taxonomic running order provided by the British Ornithologist`s Union (BOU). But for the benefit of the reader, in some instances the running order has been juggled subtly so that potentially confusing species are placed side by side. Throughout the book there are special pages that describe the key features needed for separating different families, & groups of birds that share the same habitat. More than 1, 200 photographs are featured & many are seen here for the first time. They have been chosen carefully to show not only important identification features but also to give clues to the usual habitat favoured by the bird, & its typical posture. Annotations highlight key identification features that are discussed in the text. Song & call are useful aids to identification, & reference is made to vocalisation for each species. The average size of each bird is included; in most species this is the length, measured from the tip of the bill to the tip of the tail, but in birds that are seen most frequently in flight (such as raptors), the given measurement is wingspan. Relative abundance maps are shown for every species. The darker shading shows where a species is most abundant, & the lighter shades where it is less so. These are based on the very latest information contained within the BTO`s Bird Atlas 2007-11. ...

In a unique new collaboration, Collins have paired up with the respected British Trust for Ornithology, bringing together the most authoritative & up-to-date information in this new field guide to the rare birds of Britain & Irel&. This book is the companion volume to the Collins BTO Guide to British Birds. It covers all the rare & scarce birds that have occurred in Britain & Ireland five times or more, as of February 2015. ` The Rarest of the Rare` section lists all the species that have occurred fewer than five times; taken in combination, this means that every species of wild bird that has ever occurred in Britain is mentioned. Species descriptions comprise the bulk of the book, & the text & photographs describe & illustrate the key features needed to identify these birds with complete confidence. Confusion species are included, as are vocalisation details for species whose identification it aids. The photographs have been chosen carefully to show key features that are described in the accompanying text; they also give clues to the usual habitat favoured by the bird & its typical posture. Many of the photographs are seen here for the first time.`ID Key Feature` pages provide a quick guide to a group of species or families; they describe the structural & behavioural features that an observer should concentrate on initially when they come across an unfamiliar bird. Where relevant, these feature pages also highlight identification pitfalls. Unlike its companion volume, distribution maps are not included, as they are of little relevance when dealing with rare & scarce birds in Britain & Ireland: by their very nature, vagrant birds can turn up almost anywhere. However, where a part of Britain or Ireland is noteworthy for the occurrence of a given species, then the region in question is mentioned in the text. ...
