Perfect for birdwatchers, wildlife enthusiasts and anyone interested in British birds, this unique bird identification guide provides a detailed ‘biography’ of each of the 280 commonest British bird species found across the UK. Covering all aspects of field identification, it uses illustrations from the highly acclaimed Handbook of Bird Identification to show all common plumage forms, alongside expert information on behaviour, breeding biology, population, conservation status, longevity and fascinating species facts. Each British bird species also includes a detailed UK distribution map, making it an invaluable companion for birdwatching in Britain and countryside wildlife spotting.

The updated rarities section features 26 additional bird species, including two new to this edition, while six comparison artwork spreads help readers identify difficult British birds such as ducks, waders, warblers, raptors and gulls side by side. Comprehensive, accessible and beautifully illustrated, the RSPB Handbook of British Birds is an essential British bird book and a complete source of information for anyone passionate about UK birdwatching and native wildlife.
